Results of PERMANOVA and ANOSIM comparing the fecal microbiota of C57BL/6J donors or C57BL/6Hsd recipients prior to fecal microbiota transfer (FMT) and the same C57BL/6Hsd recipients 1 week (1 w), 2 weeks (2 w), and 4 weeks (4 w) post-FMT using fresh feces, frozen feces, or fresh cecal contents as the source material for FMT.
