mBeta diversity was used to compare the magnitude of differences between pairs of samples in terms of species diversity. (A) The beta diversity matrix heat map obtained using Bray-Curtis, weighted UniFrac, and unweighted UniFrac analyses. Samples with similar beta diversity were clustered together, revealing the similarity between them. The beta diversity between the two groups was well-clustered and could be distinguished within a certain range. Based on the beta diversity distance matrix, the samples were classified into UPGMA classification trees, where the more similar samples had shorter common branches. (B) The results of cluster analysis for all samples, indicating that the WT-TC and DB-TC groups had similar colony results but differed in their compositional abundance
