Gut Microbiotah Composition of Pan Troglodytes feces at different Ages.A) The rarefaction curve of the microbiota of all samples. Each curve representing a different sample. The curves E3, E5, E6, E7, E8, E9, and F1 indicate the juvenile group; the curves C1, C2, C3, C4, D1, D2, and D3 indicate the adolescent group; the curves A1, A2, A3, B2, B3, B5, and B6 indicate the adult group. The x axis showed qualitative sequence of random number; The y axis showed OTU number. B) Venn plots show the OTU distribution based Venn plots between juvenile (A) adolescent (B) and adult (C) groups. C) The microbial community composition of Pan Troglodytes at the level of phylum in groups A, B, and C. D) The ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroides in group A, B and C. E–F) The microbial community composition of Pan Troglodytes at the level of class E) and genus F) in group A B and C.

Diversity analysis of fecal microbiota of Pan Troglodytes in different ages.A–D) Box plot of the α-diversity index of Ace (A) Chao1 (B) Observed species (C) and Goods-covrage (D). E) The Non-Metric Multi-Dimensional Scaling (NMDS) illustrating that the microbial community differences between chimpanzees in groups A, B and C was statistically significant at the Stress level of 1 × 10−4.

The keystone taxa of Pan Troglodytes feces in different ages.A) Histogram of the linear discriminant analysis (LDA) scores computed for features differentially abundant. Red green and blue bars represented bacterial conmmunities of juvenile adolescent and adult groups respectively. The criteria was set as p < 0.05, |log10 LDA score| ≥ 3.0. B) The cladogram analysis. Colors indicated represent the core bacterial populations in respective groups.

The detail information of grouping_

Age group Group Sample size
2 < years old < 5 juvenile group A 7
5 < years old < 10 adolescent group B 7
> 15 years old adult group C 7

The ANOSIM analysis was used to test the significance of differences in community structure between groups_
