Effects of pretreatment with B. pseudocatenulatum LI09 or B. catenulatum LI10 on the overall structural changes of gut microbial communities during D-GalN-induced acute liver injury. (a) The alpha diversity of the gut microbiome, determined by Simpson index and Chao1 index, in the LI09 or LI10 group was compared with that in the PC group. Values are expressed as the median with interquartile range. (b) The principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) plot shows the beta diversity of the gut microbiome with unweighted UniFrac distance derived from 16S-based sequencing data. Composition profiles of the caecal flora in the LI09 or LI10 group was compared with those in the PC and negative acute liver injury control (NC) groups.
