Comparison of intestinal microbiotas between samples. (A) The numbers of operational taxonomy units (OTUs) at different rarefaction depth are plotted for colitis non-induced mice (blue) and colitis induced mice (red). (B) Principal coordinate analyses of samples based on bacterial operational taxonomic unit (OTU) compositions. Compositional variations were measured by unweighted UniFrac distances. The color codes for the samples are, green: colitis non-induced Gankyrinf/f control mice, orange: colitis non-induced Villin-Cre;Gankyrinf/f mice, blue: colitis-induced Gankyrinf/f control mice, red: colitis-induced Villin-Cre;Gankyrinf/f mice
