Fig. 6From: Microbial proliferation on gill structures of juvenile European lobster (Homarus gammarus) during a moult cycleMicrobial counts during megalopa and juvenile (stages IV–V) moult cycles in H. gammarus: number of microbes per µm2 (n = 4) on days 1, 5, 10 and 15 megalopa, and 1 day postmoult to juvenile (a); number of filamentous, cocci and rod-shaped microbes on days 10 and 15 postmoult (n = 4) (b). Data are presented as mean ± SE. Significant differences on and between the abundances of different microbes on days 10 and 15 postmoult are represented with different lettersBack to article page
