Figure 8. Ethanol treatment resulted in significant shifts at the genera level.
The bar chart emphasizes the proportions of the 14 OTU abundances in the rat gut microbiome whose relative abundances differed significantly between treatments. Overall, those belonging to the phylum Firmicutes were lower and OTUs belonging to the phylum Bacteroidetes were higher in ethanol-treated rats. Methanosphaera, an archaeon belonging to the Euryarchaeota phylum, had higher abundance in ethanol-treated rats.
