Protein Level and Infantile Diarrhea in a Postweaning Piglet Model

Figure 6

Effects of high casein diet on gut microbial diversity and unweighted UniFrac distances. (a) Observed species. (b) Phylogenetic Diversity (PD). (c) Shannon H index. (d) Chao1 index. (e) Principal Component Analysis (PCoA) of intestinal microbiomes. (f) Comparison of unweighted UniFrac distances between pairs of samples. Data were expressed as the (); (g, h) 16S RNA bacterial sequences represent in colon samples. A represents control group; B represents high casein diet group. Each figure values of relative abundance of the ten most abundant bacterial groups: genus (g) and phylum (h) found in the colon microbiota ().
