ERRα deficiency leads to alterations in fecal microbiota diversity and composition. (a) Analysis of the microbiome alpha diversity in the fecal pellets of WT mice or Esrra−/− mice collected at baseline (day 0—untreated) or at different time points after 3% DSS treatment. Kruskal–Wallis for all groups, p < 0.01. (b) Bacterial genera (the phylum name is indicated under the genus name) with significant differences in abundance levels (ANCOM test) in the fecal pellets of WT mice versus Esrra−/− mice, day 6 is illustrated. Differences in operational taxonomic units (OTUs) between WT and Esrra−/− mice at different time points in the DSS experiment in Akkermansia muciniphila (c), Sutterella (d), and Proteobacteria (e). Data represent the mean ± SEM of n = 4 mice/genotype. Statistical analysis was performed using Student’s t-test, *p < 0.05. ns, not significant.
