Effects of Aroclor1260 and CAR/PXR ablation on alpha diversity. Alpha diversity was measured using two QIIME metrics, namely observed_species and faith_pd tree measure. Rarefaction curves were generated for (A) observed_species and (B) faith_pd. (C) Boxplots displaying distribution of the number of species were plotted for faith_pd. (D) Kruskal-Wallis test was performed for pairwise comparison between different groups for faith_pd. q-value <0.05 denotes statistical significance in bacterial diversity between the two groups.
