“Teletskoye Lake is a large (223 km2) and deep (325 m) oligotrophic lake (basin of Ob River) in the Altai Mountains (Altai Republic, Russia). In August 2019 in the north part of Teletskoye Lake (51.79°N; 87.30°E) “dwarf” C. l. pravdinellus (total length, TL 158.8 ± 2.6 mm, n = 14) infected by Proteocephalus sp., as well as “normal” C. l. pidschian uninfected (TL 252.2 ± 6.4 mm, n = 13) and infected by the same cestode (TL 241.3 ± 4.3 mm, n = 9) were collected (Supplementary Figure S1A and Supplementary Table S1). For microbiota investigations of “dwarf” whitefish we used only infected individuals due to the high prevalence level (100%) of Proteocephalus sp. Fish were captured using gill-nets (mesh sizes 18–25 mm) and transported alive to the laboratory in plastic containers filled with water from the site of fish capture. All fish were dissected and samples were collected aseptically. Male and female fish were identified according to gonadal development. The digestive tract (DT) was divided into three parts: stomach, anterior (without of pyloric caeca) and posterior intestine and cut separately (Supplementary Figure S1B). The content of each segment of DT were squeezed out by gentle stripping and collected separately. After collecting the content from the corresponding part of DT, the washing procedure was performed with sterile physiological saline solution (0.9% NaCl) to collect weakly adherent microbiota from mucosa of the stomach, anterior and posterior intestine of analyzed fish. Five milliliters of the solution were taken by syringe and slowly squeezed out into the “proximal” part of a vertically fixed part of the DT (stomach, anterior or posterior intestine), then when the solution passed through this part of the DT the solution was collected in an empty sterile tube at the “distal end” part of the DT. Afterward, the collected solution (washout) was stored at −80°C until analysis. After washing procedure, the upper mucosa from each segment of DT was then scraped off with a sterilized spatula and collected separately in another a sterile microcentrifuge tube.”
