(a) PCA score plot; PCoA score plot based on unweighted (b) and weighted (c) UniFrac metrics. Clustering of the group means based on the Mahalanobis distances calculated using MANOVA based on the PCA (d), unweighted UniFrac PCoA (e) and weighted UniFrac PCoA (f). P values were indicated as: *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
