Routine Habitat Change: A Source of Unrecognized Transient Alteration of Intestinal Microbiota in Laboratory Mice (original) (raw)
Figure 5
Genomic sequence analysis of fecal microbiota in mice following a combined facility/cage change.
Fecal samples from two mice in the control (group 3) cohort were collected daily prior (D0) to and 5 days (D1–D5) following cage change and analyzed by NGS. Taxonomic plots derived from the NGS data from V4 rDNA are plotted with _y_-axis representing relative OTU abundance (left, mouse A; right, mouse E, both as labeled in Fig. 2 and 3).
