Fig. 4

Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) plots of microbiome response to maltodextrin (a), ε-polylysine (b), pectin (c) ε-polylysine-pectin complexes (d). PCoA plots based on weighted UniFrac distances. Each sphere represents the pooled communities from 5 mice that were co-housed during each sampling point. The red circle indicates communities extracted from female mice and blue from male mice. The red and blue boundaries are delineated arbitrarily and provided solely to aid visualization of each sex group. Principal coordinate PC1, PC2, and PC3 explain 63.02% of the total variance observed
