FIGURE 2.

Differential microbiome communities of grass carp, southern catfish, and their rearing water. (A) Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) based on Bray-Curtis distance metrics of microbial communities of all organs from grass carp and southern catfish and their rearing water at 42 and 45 days. (B) NMDS based on Bray-Curtis distance metrics of microbial communities of all organs from grass carp and southern catfish and their rearing water during the whole experimental period; PCoA based on weighted (C) and unweighted (D) UniFrac distance metrics of microbial communities of all organs from grass carp and southern catfish and their rearing water. GC, grass carp; SC, southern catfish; WA, rearing water; GC1, grass carp collected at 42 days; GC2, grass carp collected at 45 days; SC1, southern catfish collected at 42 days; SC2, southern catfish collected at 45 days; WA1 and WA2 represent rearing water collected at 42 and 45 days, respectively.
