Differences in alpha and beta diversities of gut microbiota in FMA and WIMA mice. Differences in the community diversity (Shannon index) between SI and LI of recipients (a) and between FMA mice and WIMA mice (b). Differences in the community richness (sobs) between SI and LI of recipients (c) and between FMA mice and WIMA mice (d). Differences in the Jaccard distance from the recipient to the donor between SI and LI of recipients (e) and between FMA mice and WIMA mice (f). Differences in the Bray-Curtis distance from the recipient to the donor between SI and LI of recipients (g) and between FMA mice and WIMA mice (h). Jejunal and ileal samples of mice were pooled into small-intestinal samples. Cecal, colonic, and fecal samples of mice were pooled into large-intestinal samples. FMA mice: fecal microbiota-associated mice; WIMA mice: whole-intestinal microbiota-associated mice; SI: small intestine; LI: large intestine
