Figure 4. Microbiota differs by anatomical location in the colon.

Figure 4

Significant differences by anatomical location were detected in OTU numbers (a). Beta diversity were significantly changed by location in three individual cohorts. The PCoA figure is presenting cohort 2 (b) (Inline graphic: proximal colon, Inline graphic: medial colon, Inline graphic: distal colon). Each point corresponded to a sample colored by colonic region (green: proximal; blue: medial; red: distal). Proportions of Bacteroidetes, Firmuctes, and Determibacteres were changed along the colon (c). Different letters in the bar chart indicate significant different, p < 0.05.
