From: Chicken jejunal microbiota improves growth performance by mitigating intestinal inflammation
Comparison of microbial α diversity and β diversity in jejunum between high and low body weight chickens. A Pan curve indicates the relation between total number of operational taxonomic unit (OTUs) and the number of samples. B Microbial community diversity (measured by Shannon index). C Microbial community abundance (measured by Chao index). D, E Principal component analysis (PCA) plots of Bray–Curtis dissimilarities between the content/mucosa microbiota of high and low body weight groups. HC, the content of high body weight group; LC, the content of low body weight group; HM, mucosa of high body weight group; LM, mucosa of low body weight group
