Richness and diversity of indices of colonic microbiota in nursing and weaned groups.
| Items | Richness indices | Diversity indices | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chao 1 | Observed species | PD_whole_tree | shannon | simpson | |
| nursing | 306.86 | 255.33 | 22.2 | 5.24 | 0.94 |
| weaned | 223.06 | 185.33 | 15.33 | 4.76 | 0.91 |
| p value | 0.03 | 0.03 | 8.66E−03 | 0.24 | 0.24 |
The coverage percentage, richness estimators (Chao1, Observed species), and diversity indices (PD_whole_tree, Shannon and Simpson) were calculated using the QIIME program. PD_whole_tree: (phylogenetic distance) whole tree.
