FIGURE S1 Relative abundance of bacterial communities at the order level in the intestine of the faster and slower regeneratingApostichopus japonicus individuals during regeneration stages.
FIGURE S2 KEGG analysis of intestinal microbiota in the faster and slower regenerating Apostichopus japonicus individuals during regeneration stages.
FIGURE S3 Comparison of the KEGG functional profiles of intestinal microbiota in the faster and slower regeneratingApostichopus japonicus individuals during regeneration stages.
FIGURE S4 Comparison of eggNOG functional profiles of intestinal microbiota in the faster and slower regeneratingApostichopus japonicus individuals during regeneration stages.
FIGURE S5 Quantification of 16S rRNA gene copies/g of the intestine in the faster and slower regenerating Apostichopus japonicus individuals during the different regeneration stages. qPCR was performed with bacterial-specific primers on DNA extracted from F or S. Different letters indicate significant differences (P <0.05).
