Top 20 abundant bacterial genera and species in cat gut microbiota, and their relationship to cat obesity. (A, B) Heatmap of relative frequency for the top 20 most abundant bacteria genera (A) and species (B). The taxa were rank-ordered with the most abundant taxon on the top. (C). Box plots of relative frequency for three top 20 genera that exhibit significant abundance differences between normal and obese cat gut microbiota: Lactimicrobium, Phascolarctobacterium, and Bacteroides. (D). Bar plot of Prevotella-to-Bacteroides ratios in normal and obese cat gut microbiota.
