High dose corticosterone qualitatively modulates the bacterial communities in ceca of chickens. Birds were administered normal drinking water (CON), 0.2% ethanol drinking water (ECC), 10 mg/L CORT (LDC), or 30 mg/L CORT (HDC). (A) Jaccard distance and (B) weighted UniFrac PCoA plots of cecal bacterial communities. Ellipsoids cluster around HDC treatment. (C) Pairwise PERMANOVA results for Jaccard and weighted UniFrac distance. (D) Percent abundance of top eleven most abundant taxa in ceca. (E) Heatmap of top sixteen taxa in ceca. n = 9 for all treatments. * Indicates that the HDC differed (p ≤ 0.016) from the CON and ECC treatments.
