Figure 2: Diet-induced changes in bacterial composition based on UniFrac distances and LEfSe in the caecum.

From: Influence of dairy by-product waste milk on the microbiomes of different gastrointestinal tract components in pre-weaned dairy calves

Figure 2

(a) Average relative abundances of the predominant caecum mucosa- and digesta-associated bacteria; (b) comparison of the predominant genera in caecum mucosa and digesta samples (relative abundance >1% in at least one dietary group); (c) UniFrac distance between groups in the caecum; (d) histogram of the LDA scores calculated for differentially abundant features in the caecum at the genus level among the dietary groups (only the genera LDA scores above 3 are shown); and (e) taxonomic cladograms reporting the different taxa abundances in the caecum among the dietary groups. LEfSe, linear discriminant analysis (LDA) effect size; UBM, calves fed untreated bulk milk (control group); AWM, calves fed acidified waste milk; PWM, calves fed pasteurised waste milk; UWM, calves fed untreated waste milk.
