Gut dysbiosis is rebalanced through cationic polystyrene treatment. The microbiota in the ileum and feces of the mice described in Fig. 1 was examined. A: The abundances of phyla Firmicutes (Firm) and Bacteroidetes (Bact), species A. muciniphila (Akk), and class Gammaproteobacteria (γ-proteo) in the feces were detected by 16S rDNA-qPCR (n = 6 for each group). B: The bacteria population in the lumen of ileum was determined by high-throughput sequencing analysis (n = 5 for each group). UPGMA (unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic mean) clustering based on weighted unifrac distance of the top 10 relative abundant phyla. C: NMDS (non-metric multidimensional scaling) plot; every point shows one mouse, different colors signify different groups, and the stress = 0.127. D: The relative abundance of bacteria at phylum levels in the ileal lumen. E: The relative abundance of A. muciniphila in the ileal content. Ctrl, control.
