Figure 3

Comparison of the colonic microbial sequences and NMDS analysis between the DSS and LPZ groups. (a) Rarefaction curves show the numbers of unique OTU for each sample. (b) The Venn diagram depicts OTUs that were unique to the 8 mice in the DSS and LPZ groups. (c) The NMDS analysis of the differences between the DSS and LPZ groups. The samples are separated into different parts of the plot, indicating differences between groups or within groups. N=8.
