Figure 4.

The image shows six panels of biodiversity data visualizations: A) Rank-abundance curves for different samples; B) Rarefaction curves of Chao1 index; C) Rarefaction curves using the Shannon index; D) Bar charts depicting Chao1 index, Shannon index, and observed species across Con, Mod, and XYC groups; E) Principal Coordinate Analysis (PCoA) plot showing clustering of two groups; F) Venn diagram illustrating shared and unique OTUs among three groups with a bar chart of OTU counts.

XYC improved the composition of the gut microbiota in lithium-pilocarpine-induced acute epilepsy rats. (A) Rank-abundance curves analysis at the OTU classification level. (B) Rarefaction curve of Chao1. (C) Dilution curve analysis: the Shannon index of the sample sequence at the OTU level. (D) Alpha diversity includes the Chao1 index, Shannon indices, and Observed OTUS. (E) PCoA obtained from LEfSe analysis. (F) Venn diagram analysis: counting the number of shared and unique OTUs in each group. Data are shown as mean±SEM (n = 6). # p < 0.05 vs. Control group; * p < 0.05 vs. Model group.
