Zearalenone Changes the Diversity and Composition of Caecum Microbiota in Weaned Rabbit

Figure 5

The principal co-ordinates analysis (PCoA) with Unweighted Unifrac Distances of the rabbits caecum microbiota. The percentage represents contribution of principal component to the difference of samples. Each symbol represents each gut microbiota. red dot, the control group; blue dot, the low dose ZEA-treated group; yellow dot, the middle dose ZEA-treated group; green dot, the high dose ZEA-treated group. The points of different colors belong to different samples (groups). Each point represents one sample. The closer of the distance between two points means that the higher of the similarity and the smaller the difference of the microbial community structure between the two samples.
