Fig. 4From: Weaning-associated feed deprivation stress causes microbiota disruptions in a novel mucin-containing in vitro model of the piglet colon (MPigut-IVM)Set-up and validation of the MPigut-IVM: microbiota diversity. a Alpha diversity indices based on bacterial OTUs in the bioreactor medium of the MPigut-IVM during the fermentations #1, 2 and 3. b Alpha diversity indices based on bacterial OTUs on the mucin beads of the MPigut-IVM during the fermentations #1, 2 and 3. c Principal component analysis (PCoA) plot with Bray-Curtis dissimilarity on the bacterial communities in the bioreactor medium and on the mucin beads of the MPigut-IVM from the end of stabilization phase (day 7) to the end of fermentation (day 15) of the fermentations #1, 2 and 3Back to article page
