Gut microbiota composition and LPS level after intestinal microbiota transplantation. a Principal-coordinate analysis (PCoA) of cecum microbiota for transplant donors and recipients. Each circle represents a group. b Relative abundance of Bactroidetes and Bacteroides for transplant donors and recipients (n = 7, Mean with SEM). c Cecum LPS levels for different groups (n = 5, mean with SEM). Data in b and c were analyzed by one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s multiple comparisons test, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ****P < 0.0001. FMT (CON): ducks received the CON group fecal microbiota. FMT (OTA): ducks received the OTA group fecal microbiota
