Figure 2

Influences of FMT on gut microbiota. (A,B) Scatter plot of the unweighted-unifrac-principal co-ordinates analysis (PCOA) score showing the similarity of the 18 bacterial communities based on the Unifrac distance and Scatter plot of the weighted-PCOA score. (C) Nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) showing the difference in bacterial communities according to the Bray-Curtis distance. (D) Hierarchical cluster analysis. (E,F) Bacterial composition of the different communities at the genus level (E) and at phylum level (F). Sequences that could not be classified into any known group were assigned as “no rank.” (G,H) Differences were represented in the color of the most abundant group. Key phylotypes of the gut microbiota responding to FMT treatment (G), the histogram (H) showing the lineages with LDA values as determined by LEfSe. (I,K) The acetic acid, propanoic acid and butyrate acid levels of the cecal content. The data represent the mean ± S.E.M. (n = 12 mice per group), *** P < 0.001.
