Microbial variation due to an alternative diet. (A) Experimental setup for the Data_Food sequencing data. Adult worms were starved for 14 days and then sampled for sequencing (t0). The remaining worms were fed with liver or egg-whites during 1 week (t1), 3 weeks (t3), 4 weeks (t4) and 8 weeks (t8). (B) PCoA of weighted UniFrac illustrating beta-diversity between the different conditions, including starvation, liver-fed and egg-fed worms (Food source: ns, R2 = 0.02, Time feeding: p-adj = 9.99e− 4, R2 = 0.42, heterogeneity of variances). (C) Average relative abundances at the genus level at the different time points for the different conditions. The genera are coloured by their corresponding orders and the size of the bubble corresponds to the relative abundance. (W: worms, M: exposure medium that came into contact with the worm, PCoA: principal coordinate analyses, RA: relative abundance, t0 M n = 4, t0 W n = 4, t1 liver-fed n = 3, t1 egg-fed n = 3, t3 liver-fed n = 3, t3 egg-fed n = 3, t4 liver-fed n = 3, t4 egg-fed n = 3, t8 liver-fed n = 3, t8 egg-fed n = 3)
