Comparison of alpha diversity and beta diversity index. (AD) Comparison of alpha diversity index, Ace (A), Chao (B), Shannon (C) and Simpson (D) index of WMI1, WMI14, WMI28, nWMI1, nWMI14, and nWMI28 at the genus level. E The gut microbiota composition was significantly different at the genus level between WMI1 and nWMI1(PCoA). F There were significant differences in the composition of gut microbiota among six groups (PCoA). G There were significant differences in the composition of gut microbiota at the genus level among nWMI1, nWMI14 and nWMI28 groups (PCoA). H There were significant differences in the composition of gut microbiota at the genus level among WMI1, WMI14 and WMI28 groups (PCoA). Differences between groups were compared using the Wilcoxon rank sum test. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001
