Bacterial operational taxonomic units (OTUs) in ceca from mice fed exosome/RNA-sufficient (ERS) or exosome/RNA-depleted (ERD) diets beginning at age 3 wk. A: linear discriminant analysis (LDA) of effect size (LEfSe) analysis of OTUs associated with diets. The bar column represents the LDA score. Diet effects are statistically significant for LDA scores greater than 2. B: relative abundance of OTUs in A. Values are means and SDs. MaAsLin, multivariate analysis by linear models; n = 16 per diet group and time point; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
