  1. Multivariate PERMANOVA analysis to assess the effect and interaction of the two fixed factors developmental stage (Dev. stage) x parental bacteria treatment (Bac. treat) while implementing tank as strata term with p-values obtained by 10000 permutations. Significant p-values are marked in bold letters (significance code: <0.001***, 0.001**, 0.01*). Each analysis was based on OTU distance matrices obtained by tools implemented in MOTHUR (1419 OTUs, subsamples > 6000).
