Exposure to the SDR stressor significantly changes beta-diversity. After 454 pyrosequencing, UniFrac distances were calculated using QIIME and plotted on a 2-D principal coordinates graph (A). Exposure to the SDR stressor shifted the colonic microbiota, with 4 of 5 SDR stressor samples clustering apart from HCC controls. UniFrac distances were also used for construction of an unweighted pair group method by arithmetic mean (UPGMA) dendrogram, in which 4 of 5 SDR stressor samples clustered together (B). The clustering in Figure 2A and 2B was statistically significant (p < 0.05) after performing the ANOSIM test to measure differences between distance matrices of SDR stressor and HCC control groups. Data are from n = 5 mice per group.
