Fig. 1From: Effects of the increased protein level in small intestine on the colonic microbiota, inflammation and barrier function in growing pigsChanges in the microbial composition of colonic digesta with SPH treatment (n = 8). A The abundance-based coverage estimator (ACE), Chao index, and (B) the Simpson and Shannon index of colonic microbiota. C Principal coordinates analysis plots (PCoA) of colonic microbiota. D Relative abundance of the microbial phylum and (E) different phyla (Mann–Whitney U-test; median values). F Relative abundance of the microbial genus and (G) different genera (Mann–Whitney U-test; median values). H Analysis of the Venn diagram reveals the total number of OTUs both shared and unique. I Significantly different OTUs bubble chart. * P < 0.05Back to article page
