FIG 6

Changes of selected taxa within the sediment bacterial community of lab-raised animals. Sediment (sand) community was profiled (n =3/time point) 1 month after arrival in lab, 3 months post collection (with squid present in tanks), and 6 months post collection (both with and without squid present in tanks). The community of dry-collected sand was also profiled when it first arrived in the lab. Asterisk denotes significantly different relative abundance levels (A: F4,10 = 11.34, P = 0.001; B: F4,10 = 75.65, P < 0.0001), as do letter groups (C: F4,10 = 11.49, P = 0.001), based on one-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey’s test for multiple comparisons. Opitutae is a class of Verrucomicrobia; Rhodobacteraceae is a class of Alphaproteobacteria. Note differences in y axes for different taxa on bar graphs. “Wet” indicates wet-collected sand throughout. “Dry” indicates dry-collected sand throughout.
