Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG colonization in early life altered the composition and diversity of gut microbiota in 8-month-old offspring mice. (a) The Venn diagram was drawn to describe the overlapping OTUs between the two groups. (b, c) PCA and PCoA of the bacterial population structures. (d) Analysis of similarity (ANOSIM) test. (e, f) Alpha diversity was calculated using the ace and Shannon index. (g, h) Gut microbiota analysis at phylum and family levels. PCA: principal component analysis; PCoA: principal coordinate analysis; LGG colonization, n = 7. Noncolonization, n = 7.
