PCoA of unweighted UniFrac distances comparing microbiota of (a) all mice (n = 12) (p = 0.002), b male mice (n = 6) (p = 0.003), and c female mice (n = 6) (p = 0.001) pre- and post-puberty. Differential abundance analyses revealed relative increases in two taxa, d Turicibacter (W = 68) and e Enterobacteriaceae (W = 66) before and after puberty among females only. Volcano plots of significantly different metabolites from the comparison (f) males at 9 weeks compared to males at 5 weeks (g) females at 9 weeks compared to females at 5 weeks (n = 4).
