Figure 5.
The diversity (a-c) and composition of the microbiota (d-e) after melatonin supplementation in the jejunum of mice. The diversity shows the dispersion of each sample in the CON, SR and SR+MT groups. (A) Principal component analysis (PCA), (b) PCoA score plot, and (c) nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) score plot based on the Bray–Curtis score plot based on the OTUs in the jejunum. (d) Taxonomic cladogram obtained from LEfSe sequence analysis in the jejunum, and the biomarker taxa are highlighted by colored circles and shaded areas. (e) Ternary phase diagram.
