Microbial differences in the recipients of D+ and D– microbes. 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis of GF recipients of D+ and D– cecal transplants. (A) Percent composition of the total reads for each phyla in the donor and recipients of one representative of two independent experiments with n = 2 donors/group and n = 5–6 recipients/group. (B) Reads for Phyla, and Clostridium cluster IV, XI, XIVa, and XVIII or (C) Bacteroidaceae, and Bacteroides in cecum of D+ and D– recipients. Values are the mean ± SEM of n = 5–6 mice per group. Significance was determined using Mann-Whitney tests. **P < 0.01.
