Effect of Lactobacillus reuteri (LR) on α diversity and β diversity of gut microbiota. A: Shannon α diversity: wild-type LR fed (WTL) vs. wild-type control (WTC), P = 0.0011. B: evenness of α diversity: WTL vs. WTC, P = 0.0008. C: 2-dimensional principle coordinates analysis (PCoA) plot of clusters of WTC vs. WTL: P1 vs. P2 (left), P1 vs. P3 (middle), and P2 vs. P3 (right). WTC: black dots; WTL: red dots. WTL vs. WTC: P = 0.001. PERMANOVA, permutational multivariate ANOVA.
