Figure 1. Phylogenetic profiles of gut microbiote in young and aged rats treated with a control diet or VSL#3.

Figure 1

(A-B). Terminal restriction fragments (T-RFs) of microbial communities from feces of young control rats (YC), young rats administered VSL#3 (YV), aged control rats (AC) and aged rats administered VSL#3 (AV) from day 0 (panel A) and 42 (panel B)were assigned to hierarchical taxonomic groups using the on-line software MiCA. Values of taxonomic ranks are expressed in percentage as a proportion of the reference library used for analysis (H.Q. database).
