Fig. 3From: Triclosan exposure induced disturbance of gut microbiota and exaggerated experimental colitis in miceThe effects of TCS exposure for 1 week on gut microbiota in common mice. Mice were treated with 80 ppm TCS or vehicle alone in diet for 1 week. (A) Effect of TCS on α diversity of fecal microbiota, assessed by boxplot. (B) Effect of TCS on β diversity of fecal microbiota, assessed by NMDS. (C) Heatmap of differences in relative abundance of microbiota at phylum levels. (D) Lefse analysis of assessing the magnitude of the effect of each species abundance on the differences. The results are expressed as means ± SD. n = 12/group. ns means no statistical difference. The statistical significance was determined using Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney testBack to article page
