VSL#3 administration decreases the biodiversity of the luminal microbiota. A. Measures of microbial biodiversity in the luminal compartment of each treatment group. Red = Non-TNBS (n=7); Blue = TNBS +water (n=6); Green = TNBS +VSL#3 (n=7). *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001. B. Percent contribution of T-RFs within the luminal compartment of each group (from top 90%). Each color represents a different sized T-RF, indicating a different bacterial group. Dark grey comprises all species contributing between 1% and 2%, and light gray comprises species contributing below 1% within each group. Unless shared among groups, T-RFs contributing < 2% are colored in grey.
