Phylum composition of the mycobiota from SC and CC animals. Panel (A) shows that the gut mycobiota of SC animals are mostly represented by Ascomycota (~85.1%), followed by Basidiomycota (~13.3%) and Mucoromycota (~1.5%). These proportions are shifted in the gut mycobiota of CC animals to ~87.2% (Ascomycota), ~12.5% (Basidiomycota), and ~0.4% (Mucoromycota). These values were used to calculate the specific ratios involving the main fungal phyla, between SC and CC animals: Mucoromycota/Ascomycota (Panel (B)), Mucoromycota/Basidiomycota (Panel (C)) and Basidiomycota/Ascomycota (Panel (D)). Results for SC animals are shown in blue, while results for CC animals are shown in red (* = p ≤ 0.05, after Mann–Whitney U test).
