Figure 7: Analysis of gut microbiota following faecal transplantation.
From: Ganoderma lucidum reduces obesity in mice by modulating the composition of the gut microbiota
Faecal transplantation from Chow-, HFD- and Chow/HFD+8% WEGL-fed mice was performed and relevant microbiota analysis was done as described in the Methods. (a) The plots shown were generated using the weighted version of UniFrac-based PCoA. (b) Multivariate analysis of variance from PCoA matrix scores. (c) Bacterial taxonomic analysis of intestinal bacterium from each mouse groups. (d) Heatmap showing the abundance of 155 OTUs significantly altered by Chow, Chow+8% WEGL and HFD+8% WEGL transplanted mice based on RDA analysis. (e) Represented bacterial taxa information (species, genus, family and phylum) of 155 OTUs from d are shown. White circles and black diamonds indicate the OTUs that increased or decreased compared with HFD recipient mice.
