16S rRNA gene profiling data of bacterial gut microbiota during strong environmental disturbances, displayed by unweighted UniFrac PCoA’s. (A) Antibiotic challenge (amoxicillin/clavulanate) of wildlings, and conventional laboratory mice from Taconic and Jackson.(B) Dietary challenge (high-fat diet) of wildlings and conventional laboratory mice from Taconic. (C,D) Microbiological challenge through cohousing of 3 mice: a B6 mouse with pathogen-free wild mouse gut microbiota (WildR), a germ-free C57BL/6 mouse (GF) and a B6 mouse with conventional laboratory gut microbiota from Taconic (C), or Jackson (D). Data in panel B are from one experiment with 3–4 mice per group; data in panels A, C and D are from two independent experiments with 5–6 mice per group.
