Light:dark (LD) shift changes microbiota in alcohol-fed mice. There were different relatively abundant phylum and genus microbial taxa in the fecal microbiomes of non-shifted, alcohol-fed mice (NS_EtOH) and LD shifted, alcohol-fed mice (S_EtOH) after four weeks of treatment. (A) The relative abundances of Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes, as well as (B) Allobaculum and Bacteroides are inversely proportional and different between NS_EtOH and S_EtOH mice feces. The average number of sequences was rarefied to 7000 sequences per sample. * denotes a significant difference between NS_EtOH and S_EtOH mice fecal samples.
