Like Will to Like: Abundances of Closely Related Species Can Predict Susceptibility to Intestinal Colonization by Pathogenic and Commensal Bacteria (original) (raw)
Figure 4
Heatmap showing OTU's distribution in different groups.
Fecal microbiota of unmanipulated LCM mice was analyzed at day 0 (n = 8). 6 of these LCM mice (LCM_1 to LCM_6; blue) were conventionalized in two groups with 2 different CON-donors (CON_1 and CON_2; green) and fecal microbiota analyzed at day 21 (LCM_x_d21; grey). OTUs (CD = 0.05) were sorted according to taxon_4 (Family level; x-axis) and average clustering was performed on Euclidean distances calculated between abundance profiles for each mouse and every time-point sampled. Red color indicates high abundance (Log2), yellow color low abundance. CON_9855_d0 and CON_9856_d0 and LCM_9865_d0 and LCM_9866_d0 are 2 additional CON or LCM mice, respectively sampled only at day 0.
