Fig. 4.

Effect of C. lentillifera on the gut microbiota. (A) PCA analysis; (B) Box plots presenting the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio comparison between groups; top 10 relative abundances of microbial species at the (C) phylum level and (D) generic level in feces of rats; the LEfSe method was used to identify the most differentially enriched taxa in each group. (E) Cladogram and (F) LDA score of bacterial communities among the control (C) group (green), control + CL (CC) group (red), ethanol (E) group (purple), and ethanol + CL (EC) group (blue). Significant difference (p < 0.05) is identified by different letters. (For interpretation of the references to color in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the Web version of this article.)
