FIGURE 2.

BPK and GM composition in recipient Daphnia genotypes following a GM transplant (Experiment 2). Two germ-free recipient Daphnia genotypes (G2 and G6) were inoculated with four types of microbial inocula (G2M, G2S, G9M, and G9S). Two weeks after the transplant, both Daphnia GM and BPK were characterized through next generation sequencing (n = 3 replicated populations per recipient genotype × inoculum combination). Bars indicate the relative abundance of OTUs. Colors indicate bacterial classes. OTUs with an occurrence lower than 1% are not represented. Upper panel is the GM composition of the inocula.
