Diversity statistics of the reads in control and dietary deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEN) treatment samples.
| Sample Group | Sampling Type | No. of Sequences | No. of Observed OTUs 1 | Chao1 | Phylogenetic Diversity Whole Tree | Shannon | Sample Group |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control (n = 4) | Subsampled reads | 100,000 | 16,961 a | 58,020 a | 791 a | 9.805 a | 0.990 a |
| DON (n = 5) | Subsampled reads | 100,000 | 16,003 a | 52,108 a,b | 772 a | 9.692 a | 0.991 a |
| ZEN (n = 5) | Subsampled reads | 100,000 | 14,565 a | 45,882 b | 696 a | 9.353 a | 0.989 a |
1 The number of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) was normalized by subsampling 100,000 sequences from each colon contents. Means among the three groups were compared using analysis of variance, followed by Duncan’s test. Values with different superscript letters in the same row are significantly different (p < 0.05).
