Beta diversity and bacterial communities following Biomphalaria infection: Dynamics of the bacterial microbiota of Biomphalaria glabrata following Schistosoma primary infection and secondary challenge. (A). Functional diversity comparisons of Biomphalaria microbiota along the infection. Principal coordinate analysis of pairwise Bray–Curtis distances across all infection type and time samples. Axes represent the two synthetic variables explaining the greatest proportion of variation in the data set. The sample name indicated in the figure corresponds to the centroid of all the biological replicates points of the respective experimental sample. (B). Phylum level composition of the 20 most abundant OTUs among all points of the kinetic. In this representation, the replicate naive snails were pooled for more readability.
