FIG 8.
Intestinal microbial communities are altered in pIgR KO mice. Ileal contents were isolated from naive pIgR KO and WT mice, and intestinal microbial communities were analyzed via 16S rRNA gene sequencing. A PCoA plot of θYC distances between bacterial communities is shown. Each symbol represents the bacterial community from the ileal content of an individual animal. The solid symbols represent WT mice, and the shapes distinguish between WT breeding rooms. The open circles represent pIgR KO mice.
