Overview of sequential changes in fecal microbiota composition (a, b). a and b mean that each sample has a different number on a different classification, (c) rarefaction curves, (d) rank abundance curves. The rarefaction curves reflecting the rationality of sequencing depth and diversity of species in feces samples indirectly. In rank abundance curves, wider span of curves reveals richness of species in horizontal direction and the degree of curves showing the evenness of bacterial species in samples vertically.
