Exploring the Possible Link between the Gut Microbiome and Fat Deposition in Pigs

Figure 6

Enrichment of CAZymes and KEGG functions in the colon. The colon content samples were collected from 5 high-fat and 5 low-fat pigs at 250 days old for DNA isolation and metagenome sequencing. (a) The relative abundance of each KEGG pathway (Level 2) in the high- and low-fat pigs after an enrichment analysis. (b) The relative abundance of each KEGG subsystem (Level 3) in the high- and low-fat pigs after an enrichment analysis. (c) The relative abundance of each CAZyme functional term after an enrichment analysis. Heatmaps were generated with -scores calculated from the relative abundance of each KEGG or CAZyme function. H: the high-fat pigs; L: the low-fat pigs; GH: Glycoside Hydrolase; GT: Glycosyl Transferase; PL: Polysaccharide Lyase; CE: carbohydrate esterases; CBM: carbohydrate-binding module; AA: Auxiliary Activities.
