Figure 7. Discriminatory (a) OTUs, families and phyla and (b) functional pathways (KEGG L2) between herbivores and carnivores, according to both lakes.

Figure 7

Bars show differences between average reads for diet category, normalized to the sum of means (right-side bars: H-enriched; left-side bars: C-enriched) (kw, p<0.05, Bonferroni corrected for Tanganyika and FDR corrected for Barombi Mbo). OTUs were classified to their highest level of taxonomic resolution followed by phylum. The two lakes show a consistent trend of shared taxa and functional pathways enrichment according to diet categories. The core OTU-837283 (present in 85% of all specimens), corresponding to P. shigelloides, was detected also in our previous work (corresponding to former OTU-137, (Baldo et al 2015) and was here significantly enriched in carnivores of both lakes (a). See complete list of discriminatory OTUs at Supplementary Table 2 and functions at Supplementary Table 4.
