(a) Study design. (b) Gut microbiota diversity (represented as Shannon Index) based on the sequence data of bacterial 16S rRNA genes. Results are presented as box- and whisker plots showing the smallest observation, lower quartile, median, upper quartile and largest observation; P-values are calculated between time points as indicated by lines. ***P<0.001. (c) Principal component analysis (unconstrained) of fecal microbial communities. On the horizontal axis is Principal Component 1 and on the vertical axis Principal Component 2 with their corresponding percentages of explained variance. White bars or circles: day 0, black: day 8, gray: week 7.
