Effects of IEC Napepld deletion on the gut microbiota. a Principal coordinates analysis (PcoA) based on the unweighted UniFrac analysis on operational taxonomic units (OTUs). Each symbol representing a single sample is colored according to its group. b Composition of abundant bacterial phyla identified in the gut microbiota. c Relative abundances (percentage of 16S rRNA gene sequences) of the different bacterial families in each sample. d OTUs significantly affected in HFD-fed Napepld∆IEC mice versus WT mice. A representative 16S rRNA gene from each of the 75 differentially expressed OTUs was aligned and used to infer the phylogenetic tree shown in this figure (n = 9–10). Purple: WT HFD mice and pink: Napepld∆IEC HFD mice.
