Bacterial diversity of intestinal microbiota in different groups. (a) Rarefaction curve of all samples (the abscissa is the number of sequencing strips randomly selected, and the ordinate is the number of OUT). (b) Index of alpha diversity shown in Chao1 index to estimate species abundance and diversity of microbial communities. (c) β-Diversity analysis was performed by partial least squares discrimination analysis (PLS-DA). (d) Venn diagram was used to show the number of common and unique OTUs among samples of each group (different groups were represented by different colors, and the digital in the overlapping graph was the number of OTUs shared by different groups).
