Fig. 1. Effects of sucrose addition on the bacterial community structure of rearing water, biofloc and gut in the shrimp culture systems.

Fig. 1

a Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) plot based on the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity shows the dissimilarities of bacterial community between control and sucrose addition groups in rearing water, biofloc, and gut samples. b The pairwise dissimilarities of bacterial community of rearing water, biofloc and gut in control and sucrose addition culture systems. c The dissimilarities of bacterial communities within group of rearing water, biofloc and gut samples in control and sucrose addition culture systems. CK: without sucrose addition; CN10: the C/N ratio of about 10:1 obtained by sucrose addition; CN15: the C/N ratio of about 15:1 obtained by sucrose addition. Each sample had six replicates (n = 6), except the water samples (n = 4) and biofloc samples (n = 2) in control group. The boxes represent the median and interquartile range, and whiskers range from minimum to maximum values. Different asterisks indicate a significant difference at *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 and ****p < 0.0001 in (b) and (c) based on Student’s t test.
