Distribution of phyla across the phylogenetic tree. Colonic tissue sections from a male wildtype (WT) mouse was stained with a fluorescent DNA probe specific for the 16S rRNA gene to identify bacteria (red), a Muc2 antibody (green) to identify mucus and counterstained with DAPI (blue) (a). A phylogenetic tree of 16S rRNA sequences derived from the gut microbiota of FVB wildtype (WT) mice and mdr1a−/− mice (b). The distribution of major gut phyla are highlighted on the tree: Firmicutes (grey), Bacteroidetes (pink), Proteobacteria (olive), Actinobacteria (red), and Deferribacteres (gold). The same tree is shown, coloured by other criteria, in Supplementary Figure S1. Figure (b) was produced in R 3.6.0 for Windows.
