A Strong Impact of Genetic Background on Gut Microflora in Mice
Figure 8
ARISA analysis of DNA from cecal contents of 129 N10. This DKO colony was established by backcrossing the mixed strain B6;129 colony to 129Sv/J for 10 generations. The group sizes are 21 DKO mice on AIN diet, 10 non-DKO mice on inulin-supplemented AIN diet, 7 non-DKO mice on AIN diet, and 15 DKO mice on inulin-supplemented AIN diet. The non-DKO mice are heterozygous DKO with 2 or 3 WT alleles for combined Gpx1 and Gpx2.
