Microbial load and community composition of the gut microbiome in Epibolus pulchripes and Glomeris connexa. a 16S rRNA gene copies in the hindgut and faecal samples from E. pulchripes and G. connexa. b Average colony counts from faeces samples grown on LB agar media. c Relative abundance of bacteria from the hindgut at phylum level based on Illumina sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene. d PCoA-analysis based on unweighted UniFrac distances between the microbial communities in the hindguts of both millipede species. e The relative abundance of dominant bacteria at the genus level. f Taxonomic classification of the prokaryotic community in the assembled metagenomes (MG) and metatranscriptomes (MT) from hindgut samples of E. pulchripes and G. connexa based on the total ORFs
