Fig. 3. PICRUSt analysis results of the gut microbiota in the silkworm larvae that were reared on fresh mulberry leaves. (a) Metabolic function classification at Level 1. (b) Differences of cellular processes in the four silkworm strains. Samples marked with the same number did not differ significantly from each other, P > 0.05 (n = five replicate samples). (c) Relative abundance of predicted functions at Level 2. Level 1 or Level 2 of the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) ortholog hierarchy based on the PICRUSt dataset. Each stacked bar represents the relative abundance of the predicted functions of a sample.
