Qi-Deficiency Related Increases in Disease Susceptibility Are Potentially Mediated by the Intestinal Microbiota

<div>PICRUSt shows that the 21 predicted KOs significantly differ in their distribution in healthy QX (blue) and PH (red) populations. Functional modules involved in amino and nucleotide sugar metabolism and in RNA degradation are more abundant in QX than they are in PH.
