Annotation of genes significantly downregulated by V. parahaemolyticus (PD-2) with or without taurine treatment. A KEGG pathway enrichment analysis and annotation of significantly downregulated DEGs (V. parahaemolyticus (PD-2) vs control or taurine + V. parahaemolyticus (PD-2)). B Amino acid metabolism-related genes identified from KEGG pathway enrichment analysis and shown by heatmap (n=4). C Schematic diagram showing the expression of key taurine metabolism-related enzymes with and without V. parahaemolyticus (PD-2) challenge. Relative expression of D CDO gene, E CSD gene, and F AST gene. Results were reported as mean ± S.E.M (n = 3). *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001
