Figure 1

Fungal compositions vary among gut segments in normal and acute DSS-colitis mice.

(A) Partial least-squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) scores plot based on the relative abundance of fungal operational taxonomic units (OTUs) (97% similarity level) in feces from different intestinal segments of normal and acute DSS-colitis mice. (B) qRT-PCR of 18S rDNA was performed on 50 ng total DNA isolated from the ileal, cecal and colonic feces of normal and acute DSS-colitis mice. (C) The Shannon-Weiner biodiversity index (Shannon index) was measured to represent the diversity of fungi in the murine fecal samples (n = 4/group).
