Figure 4. Microbiome analysis.

Figure 4.

A) Illustrated is the principal coordinate analysis of beta diversity of gut microbiota from unweighted UniFrac distance values. Samples from mice consuming water containing the PS beads (blue) are more tightly clustered than the control samples which show higher variation. B) Illustrated are boxplots of beta diversity of the gut microbiota from the unweighted UniFrac distance values of two groups with q-value 0.028 as calculated from a PERMANOVA test. C) Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) effect size (LEfSe) analysis identifies differentially abundant gut microbiota with LDA score ≥ 2 in Phylum level between two groups based on a non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test.
