From: Intestinal Claudin-7 deficiency impacts the intestinal microbiota in mice with colitis
Alpha diversity of the gut microbiota in each group. Alpha diversity of the gut microbiota was significantly reduced in CreERT2 mice compared with that in CreW mice, according to the Shannon and Simpson indices. DSS treatment perturbed and reduced intestinal microbiota diversity. DSS-treated CreERT2 mice had reduced ACE, Chao1, Observed-species, Shannon and Simpson indices compared with DSS-treated CreW mice (A–E). Note: n = 6; T was untreated CreERT2 group, W was untreated CreW group, t1 was DSS-treated CreERT2 group, w1 was DSS-treated CreW group
