Muc2–/–microbiota transplanted to Muc2+/+littermates. (A) Dissimilarity measured by nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) illustrates the distance throughout samples that were antibiotic-treated and FMT with Muc2–/– and Muc2+/+ microbiota. Time points are as follow: day –17: before antibiotic treatment, days 1, 5, and 10 correspond to days passed after the last FMT; (a) Muc2–/– FMT with Muc2+/+, (b) Muc2+/+ FMT with Muc2+/+, (c) Muc2–/– FMT with Muc2–/–, and (d) Muc2+/+ FMT with Muc2–/–. (B) Significantly different OTUs between Muc2+/+ FMT with Muc2–/– and Muc2+/+ were grouped by family and the top 5 plotted in a bar graph to illustrate their difference in abundance. Plots C–G display the 5 families’ dynamics at different time points.
