Figure 3

Forty-six bacterial OTUs that were different in abundance between male and female recipient according to redundancy analysis (RDA).

(A) Biplot of the RDA between male and female recipient on relative abundance of OTUs. Constrained explanatory variables were indicated by red triangles. Blue arrows indicated the OTUs with more than 20% variability in values explained by the canonical axis. Upper left showed P-value of Monte Carlo Permutation Test. (B) Heatmap of the abundance of the 46 OTUs. Rows corresponded to 13 OTUs enriched in male recipient (blue), and 33 OTUs more in female recipient (red). Columns represented each mouse in the two groups. The taxonomy of the OTUs (family/genus/species) was shown on the right.
