Ecological Characterization of the Colonic Microbiota of Normal and Diarrheic Dogs
Figure 2
T-RFLP analysis of fecal samples from
research colony dogs. Panel (a) community
composition expressed as % area of peaks under the T-RFLP electropherogram;
bacterial groups were combined at the taxonomic level of order. Panel (b) dendrogram
based on Bray-Curtis similarities of community composition among the five dogs;
numbers at nodes indicate percentage of trees having an equivalent node in
jackknife analysis. Panel (c) community richness parameter, Rr. Panel (d)
community functional organization, Fo.
