Fig. 6: Microbial circadian rhythmicity of M. lignano, and composition characteristics of the microbiota of worms and PCM in the observation time points.

From: The microbiome of the marine flatworm Macrostomum lignano provides fitness advantages and exhibits circadian rhythmicity

Fig. 6

In A, the relative bacterial load is shown during the 24-h observation period (expressed as Zeitgeber time). In B, beta-diversity measurement of these bacterial samples is based on Shannon index analysis. C, D The relative abundances of the Peregrinibacteria and Pelomonas. E, F Bray-Curtis non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) and a network of worms and PCM in eight record time points. The Ellipsoids represent a confidence interval surrounding each group, stress value = 0.065. The color code indicates the time points in both E and F. The cycling statistical JTK outputs permutation-based p-values (ADJ.P) were defined. N = 5.
