Figure 2.
The α- and β-diversity of fecal microbiota by group (HC vs. CAN). (A) Significant differences in Chao1 and observed OTUs were observed between each group (p = 0.0098 and p = 0.012). No significant difference was observed between HC and CAN regarding Shannon’s index. (B) Principal coordinates analysis (genus level) using the Bray–Curtis dissimilarity, displaying the dissimilarities of fecal microbiota between each group.
