(a) Relative abundance (%) of the 10 most abundant genus level taxa in inoculum and fecal samples from the isolator and IVCs per generation and age. Taxa with an abundance <1% were collapsed. (b+c) Unweighted (b) and weighted (c) UniFrac PCoA plots of all isolator and IVC samples (i.e., P aged 7, 11 and 18 weeks, F1 aged 4, 11 and 18 weeks, and F2 aged 4 and 11 weeks), and the inoculum in PCR duplicates. Isolator and IVC samples displayed a low to moderate separate clustering from each other (Unweighted: p = 0.001, R = 0.34; Weighted: p = 0.003, R = 0.04). P = parent mice inoculated at 6 weeks of age; F1 and F2 = offspring generations born with the microbiota.
