Additional file 1 of Anemonefish use sialic acid metabolism as Trojan horse to avoid giant sea anemone stinging

Additional file 1: Fig. S1 A) Comparison of Neu5Ac levels between lab maintained anemonefish species and wild caught anemonefish species (Amphiprion clarkii, Amphiprion frenatus, Amphiprion ocellaris). A parametric test of Student or a non-parametric Wilcoxon-Mann–Whitney test was performed to compare the mean Neu5Ac levels between lab and wild environment for each species. Significant differences are displayed by a star (*) for each species. B) Comparison of Neu5Ac levels between A. ocellaris held without and with sea anemone (S. gigantea) in aquarium at Okinawa marine station. A non-parametric Wilcoxon-Mann–Whitney test was performed but no significant difference was observed between the two groups. C) Levels of Kdn detected in organs of Amphiprion ocellaris, Chrysiptera cyanea, and Chromis viridis. Data are presented in Additional file 6: Table S1.
