Spatial heterogeneity of the gut microbial community. a Comparison of the observed OTUs among the five sample types. Each point represents a sample. The center red point indicates the mean value in the corresponding sample type and the data are expressed as means ± SD. ** indicates an adjusted P value < 0.01. b Nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) at the family taxonomic level. Microbial source tracking: c ileum, d cecum, and e feces. Comparison of the relative abundance of f anaerobe, g aerobe, and h biofilm formation. D, J, I, C, and F represent the duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, and feces, respectively. The center yellow point indicates the mean value in the corresponding sample type
