From: Dietary carbohydrate source influences molecular fingerprints of the rat faecal microbiota
Score plots from Principal Component Analysis of DGGE profiles based on bacterial DNA (A) and RNA (B) extracted from faecal samples. Dotted lines encircles groups fed with control (black dots), sucrose (circles with dots) and potato starch (stars) diets. Animal numbers (Table 1) representing each point are given in parentheses. Two samples were lost during processing of DNA. A) The amount of variability accounted for by Factor 1 is 27.2% and by Factor 2 is 19.4%. B) The amount of variability accounted for by Factor 1 is 26.1% and by Factor 2 is 17.5%.
