Fig. 7From: Gastric bypass surgery in a rat model alters the community structure and functional composition of the intestinal microbiota independently of weight lossComparison of sorted bacterial cells from RYGB cecum content with the entire microbiota from RYGB cecum content. a Flow cytometric analysis of cecum content samples. Staining by DAPI vs. FSC. Top: PCA analysis of cell counts in the 27 set gates from RYGB and sham samples (n = 5). Middle: representative pattern of RYGB samples. Bottom: representative pattern of sham samples. P calculated by PERMANOVA of gate bacterial cell counts (gates highlighted were those chosen for bacterial cell sorting). b Significant differences in bacterial family abundances based on relative number of protein groups between gate-sorted cecum samples with whole cecum samplesBack to article page
