From: The development of lower respiratory tract microbiome in mice
Microbial communities in the developing lung are dynamic over time. The stacked bar plot revealed that 16 genera dominated the developmental lung microbiota (test for equal proportions p < 0.05). The bars represent the average abundance of OTUs per week. Lactobacillus and Streptococcus were most prominent among the mice of all of the weeks. Defluvibacter was present in neonatal mice, while Veillonella started to appear at the age of 5 weeks. PBS instead of the lung tissue was used as a negative control
