Operational taxonomic unit (OTU) counts were significantly reduced on hypoxic days 1 and 3 but recovered by day 12. Mice were placed in hypoxic chambers to simulate an altitude of 5500 m above sea level for 1, 3, or 12 days (n = 6 per group). (A) Schematic of sample collection. OTUs and sequence counts reflecting the microbiota communities in the stomach (B) and small intestine (D). Venn diagrams of OTUs counts reflecting the microbiota communities in the stomach (C) and small intestine (E). HD  hypoxic exposure days; N = Normoxic control; S = Stomach; and SB  small bowel.
