Figure 5. Diversity Analysis of Gut Microbiomes at Different Time Points.

Figure 5

(A) Shannon effective species (α-diversity or intra-sample diversity; ± SEM, n = 3 per time point) for each condition and time point.

(B) Box and whisker plot of Shannon effective species (α-diversity) and (C) richness averaged across all time points (n = 18). (D) Rarefaction and (E) rank-abundance curves of average reads (n= 18 per condition). Dissimilary (β-diversity) of (F) samples within the same condition (except those from the same time point), and (G) samples from different conditions. In all box plots, whiskers show minimum and maximum, the box is the 25–75th percentile, and the line is the median. *p < 0.05.
