A) Bar graph of significantly differential features in male c57Bl/6J mice undergoing sham surgery (n=11) or sleeve gastrectomy (n=6) using Random Forest with Boruta analysis (Gini score > 0.09) of 16s data. B). Lefse plot of significant discriminant features between surgical cohorts. C.) Metagenomic analysis of stool collected from surgical cohorts at the final experimental timepoint (week 18). There is increased relative abundance of cholylglycine bile salt hydrolase containing Ligilactobacillus in sleeve vs sham groups.
