Fig 6. Percentage of reads shared between gut and environment microbial communities increased more than two folds after habitat-exchange manipulation.

The source of the microbes represented by reads were divided into G (shared with the gut microbiota from native habitat), S (shared with sediment microbiota from the water area of habitat-exchange manipulation), W (shared with water microbiota from the water area of habitat-exchange manipulation), SW (shared with both sediment and water microbiota from the water area of the habitat-exchange manipulation, etc.), GS, GW, GSW, and Specific (unshared core OTUs of habitat-exchanged shrimp) groups.
