Figure 8. Effects of BLG sensitization on fecal microbiome.

Figure 8.

Microbial DNA was isolated from fecal pellets and 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing was performed. Fecal microbial compositions were determined as described in the Materials and Methods section, and alpha and beta diversities were assessed. (A) Assessment of alpha diversity with the number of observed species. Sham mice (open bars with open triangles); BLG mice (striped bars with filled diamonds). Bars indicate group average values ± SEM (n = 10 per group), two-way ANOVA. (B, C) Assessment of beta diversity with Bray-Curtis principal coordinate analysis. Sham mice (open triangles); BLG mice (filled diamonds). Male C57BL/6J (blue); male BALB/cJ (red); female C57BL/6J (green); female BALB/cJ (orange).
