β Diversity as visualized as a principal coordinates analysis showing the top 2 axes by variance in microbiota communities explained. Circles represent the blue light + HOCl group, and the triangles represent the HOCl-only group, with each animal designated by a different color. Lines connect sample pairs indicating shifts in microbial community between timepoints 1 (prestudy) and 2 (poststudy). Points are generally most clustered by animal (color), indicating that the individual microbiota has a stronger effect on microbial community than the treatment or timepoint.
