The relative abundances of the 25 most abundant OTUs, including COTS27 (OTU 1; red), in the total samples analysed in this study. The bubble chart of the relative abundances was calculated from the merged replicates of each body part (spines, tube feet, and pyloric stomachs) in each COTS individual. The phylogenies of each OTU were determined based on the results (best hit) of BLAST searches against the NCBI nr/nt database. *1: The phylogenies of OTU3 and OTU4 were determined in the All-species Living Tree Project and RDP databases, respectively
