Fig. 1. Transfer of stool from healthy donor mice reverses the loss of species richness and species evenness after TBI in mice.

Fig. 1.

Fecal microbiome biodiversity was measured and is represented as box plots of species richness (A) and species evenness (B). Elements of alpha-diversity, measured by Simpson Index, which relates operational taxonomic unit (OTU) richness and evenness, are plotted with each box representing groups containing 5 mice (N = 5). TBI results in a marked decrease in the number of species present and their relative abundance. Post-TBI treatment with FMT abrogates TBI-induced decreases in richness and evenness. ((P ≤ 0.05(*), 0.001(**), and 0.0001(***)).
