Figure 4. Plasticity of Gut Microbiota is Strain-Specific.

Figure 4

(A) Gut Microbiota phyla shift in 52 strains after HF/HS feeding for 8 weeks indicated by shift in percent composition of indicated phylum.

(B) Procrustes analysis of the same strains on chow diet and the HF/HS diet are linked with a bar. The unweighted UniFrac distances between the diets varies across strains, but are in general long, highlighting the shifts in microbial composition in response to diet.

(C-E) Correlation of relative abundance of Akkermansia (A), Lactococcus (B), and Allobaculum (C) with body fat percentage increase from 0 to 8 weeks in male mice fed a HF/HS diet, regression line (red), r, biweight midcorrelation, p, p-value.
