Figure 3

Gut bacterial community structure variation of E. obliqua larvae (n = 3) (a) at phylum level; (b) genus level; (c): operational taxonomic unit (OTU) level; and (d) Relative abundances of the top 30 genera that showed significant differences among samples from Control and Treatment. Students t test was used to evaluate the significance of differences between two groups. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.001; ***P < 0.0001. C.G. = Control group: larvae fed on artificial diet; T.G. = Treatment group: larvae fed on artificial diet with 1% EGCG supplement.
