From: Mucosa-associated gut microbiota reflects clinical course of ulcerative colitis
Comparison of gut microbiota composition between rectum and colon in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). (A) Bar graph of the gut microbiota composition of the rectum (R) and colon (C) in the patients with UC at the order level. The brackets underneath indicate one individual. (B) Comparisons of α-diversity of gut microbiota composition between rectum and colon as assessed by the Chao1 index, the Shannon index, and whole-tree phylogenetic diversity (PD). (C) Principal coordinate analysis of gut microbiota by unweighted and weighted UniFrac between the rectum and colon. Each symbol indicates one patient. n.s., no significant difference between the 2 indicated groups (PERMANOVA, p = 1.0).
