From: Effects of early postnatal gastric and colonic microbiota transplantation on piglet gut health
Comparison of alpha- and beta-diversity indexes of colon content from pigs receiving colonic content filtrate transplantation (CcFT, n = 16), colonic microbiota transplantation (CMT, n = 15), gastric microbiota transplantation (GMT, n = 15) or saline (CON, n = 16). A and B Box-plot of α-diversity calculated with Shannon (A) and Chao1 (B) indexes. C Two-dimensional principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) plot based on the Bray–Curtis dissimilarity matrix. Sample clustering of the CMT and GMT sample was significantly different from CON samples (PERMANOVAP < 0.05). *P < 0.05
