Fig. 2From: Stool preparation under anaerobic conditions contributes to retention of obligate anaerobes: potential improvement for fecal microbiota transplantationThe bacterial composition of raw samples from 16 subjects. Each stacked bar represents bacterial counts per 1 g of feces, as determined by 16S and 23S quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). In all subjects (except subjects 6 and 7), obligate anaerobes, including the C. coccoides group and C. leptum subgroup, accounted for the majority of the fecal microbiota. The proportion of the facultative anaerobes was significantly lower than that of the obligate anaerobesBack to article page
