In test waters from MSH, CC48, 3HKT and HR3, phytoplankton (A) and zooplankton (B) were analyzed using a heat map. Sample names are indicated in the heat map’s horizontal ordinate at the bottom, and distinct phytoplankton or zooplankton classes are indicated in the ordinate on the right side. When values fall below the mean, the heat map’s hue is negative; when they rise, it is positive. The standard score (Z-values), which is represented by the color scale in the top right corner, is equal to (x − µ)/σ, where x represents the relative abundance of a particular plankton group. The average relative abundance of all plankton groups is known as μ. The standard deviation of relative abundance for all plankton groups is σ. For hierarchical clustering, the Bray-Curtis distance was determined using R software. MSH: During this treatment, mosquitoes exclusively drank water from the Meishe River. 3HKT and HR3: In this treatment, mosquitoes were kept in water from the Meishe River that had been supplemented with recombinant Chlamydomonas 3HKT-3 and HR3-1, respectively. CC48: In this treatment, mosquitoes were kept in water from the Meishe River that had been supplemented with C. reinhardtii CC48
