Bacterial taxonomic composition analysis of cecal digesta. (A) Genus-level composition of the microbiota from cecal digesta. Composition of major taxonomic groups at the genus level in samples collected from the group treated with basal diet plus intraperitoneal administration of sterile saline (C), basal diet plus intraperitoneal administration of LPS (CL), basal diet plus 1 g/kg of B. subtilis–fermented products in combination with intraperitoneal administration of LPS (LL), and basal diet plus 3 g/kg of B. subtilis–fermented products in combination with intraperitoneal administration of LPS (HL) (n = 3). (B) Heat map of species abundance of the microbiota from cecal digesta. Abundance distribution of dominant 35 genera (y-axis) across all samples (x-axis) is displayed in the species abundance heat map (n = 3). Values are normalized using the Z-score. Abbreviation: LPS, lipopolysaccharide.
