Figure 1

The relative abundance of bacterial levels in mice cecum samples. PCoA plots based on OTU of mice cecum samples. The results were generated based on the Jaccard distance matrix. Females (A) and males (B). The colors represent different group identities, of which red stands for B0, blue stands for B20 and orange stands for PBS group. Expression (DESeq2 normalized counts) of 10 bacterial families for PBS, B0, and B20 groups are shown for both females (C) and males (D). (E) The comparison of calculated ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes for both female and male groups. *Indicates statistical significance with p < 0.05.
