Figure 3

16S rRNA diversity analysis detected significant differences in the tongue-coating microbiome between gastritis patients with Cold and Hot Syndromes.

(A) Alpha diversity rarefaction curves of all 27 samples based on species-level OTUs. (B) PCoA plot of the between-sample Jaccard matrix of all 27 samples. (C) AMOVA results of the between-sample Jaccard distance matrix of the 19 gastritis patients. The F-statistic is the ratio of the mean square among groups within the groups. (D) AMOVA results of the between-sample unweighted Unifrac distance matrix of the 19 gastritis patients.
