Figure 1

Rarefaction curve (A), chao1 richness index (B) and Shannon diversity index (C) of European seabass gut microbial communities for anterior and posterior intestine. Rarefaction curve indicates number of observed features for anterior (blue) and posterior (orange) intestine depending on sequencing depth. Fish were fed a basal diet with no supplement (CTRL) or supplemented with Gracilaria gracilis powdered biomass at 2.5% (ALGAE2.5), at 5% (ALGAE5) or with the seaweed extract at 0.35% inclusion rate (EXTRACT). No significance differences were observed; dots (in A) and bars (in B and C) indicate mean value of the group and error lines indicate ± SD; AI and PI stand for anterior and posterior intestine respectively (Kruskall–Wallis, P > 0.05).
