Figure 1. Microbiome differences between bacterial, fungi, and Prototheca from infection and non-infected skin during infection of Prototheca wickerhamii (IMAGE)
Caption
(A) Calcium fluorescent white fluorescent staining (× 1000). (B) Box-and-whisker plot of the α-diversity indices for richness of the bacterial communities on the operational taxonomic unit (out) level in the infection group and the control group, respectively. (C) Principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) based on the Bray-Curtis distance showed that the overall diversity differed significantly between the IF group and the C group. (D) A heatmap was used to represent the major bacterial species differences between the IF group and the C group, using red and blue colors. (E) Box-and-whisker plot of the α-diversity indices for richness of the fungi communities on the OTU level in the IF group and the C group, respectively. (F) A heatmap was used to represent the major fungal species differences in the IF group and the C group, respectively. (G) The relative abundance of fungal species in the IF group and the C group.
