Fig. 3: Differences in chemical compounds of anogenital gland secretions (AGS) and feces in giant pandas, and the differences in microbial communities, KEGG and contribution bacteria for lipid metabolism.
From: Symbiotic bacteria mediate volatile chemical signal synthesis in a large solitary mammal species
a A heat map of the mean relative abundance of the chemical compounds. b A heat map of the number chemical components. Differences in the microbial communities as a function of providence (captive/wild) and source (feces/AGS) at the c phylum and d genus level. e PCoA clustering results of samples from different groups. f Hierarchical clustering analysis of the samples, clearly indicating two branches for AGS and fecal samples. g Six differentially represented pathways in lipid metabolism and the Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) score. h Prevalence of enzymes involved in lipid metabolism as a function of phylum and family in AGS of giant pandas. i The contribution of different bacteria at genus level to lipid metabolism. WPF: wild panda feces, CPF: captive panda feces, WPAG: wild panda AG, CPAG: captive panda AG.
