Figure 5.

Non-metric multidimensional scaling of stool microbiota in ob/ob mice fed a diet with or without BTS. Similarity of microbiota between CONT and BTS was assessed by non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS). Circle, stool sample; Cross, detected genera; Bold cross, genera showing significant differences with 10-fold changes between CONT and BTS groups in Table 2. The limb of each group is shown by a dotted line. The dissimilarity test between CONT and BTS was performed by permutational multivariant analysis of variance test.
