Figure 6: Comparisons of mean abundance of bacterial taxa between infected and uninfected fish.

Figure 6

Plots show log abundance of different taxa (y axis) compared between T0 and T3 of all control (A) and test (B) tanks, respectively (x axis). Error bars are +/− standard error. Based on a Kruskal-Wallis test, data point (closed circles) colours in T3 indicate where an OTU was significantly less abundant than at T0 (blue), more abundant (red) or not significantly different (black). Abundance differences between taxa in control (top) and test (bottom) treatments for T0 (left) - T3 (right) comparisons (that are still significant after Bonferroni correction) are marked up by green dashed boxes. Putative secondary pathogens are listed in black (and indicated by the black dashed circles). Listed in red are taxa that were more abundant at T3 of control or infected fish respectively. Listed in blue were taxa that are less abundant given the same criteria.
