Diet (no. of mice) | Sampling typea | No. of clean sequences | No. of observed OTUsb | Chao1 diversity indexb | Shannon diversity indexb |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Control (8) | Subsampled reads | 15,000 | 221 ± 19A | 276 ± 24A | 5.19 ± 0.18A |
MI-2 (8) | Subsampled reads | 15,000 | 207 ± 19A,B | 278 ± 24A | 4.83 ± 0.18A,B |
DSS-middle (4) | Subsampled reads | 15,000 | 252 ± 27A | 314 ± 35A | 4.60 ± 0.26A,B |
DSS (4) | Subsampled reads | 15,000 | 138 ± 27B | 177 ± 35B | 4.39 ± 0.26B |
Means among the four diet groups were compared by ANOVA followed by Duncan’s test.
Within a column, means with different letters indicate diet groups showing a significant difference (P < 0.05). The number of observed OTUs was normalized by randomly subsampling 15,000 clean sequences from each sample.
