Differences in the fecal microbiota of WT and ERβ−/− mice under baseline and inflammatory states. A Community richness calculated by observed OTUs. B Principal coordinates analysis of microbial unweighted UniFrac compositional differences. C Taxonomic cladogram obtained using LEfSe analysis. D, E Bar graph of bacterial abundance at the genus (D) and family (E) levels. F, G Relative abundances of substantially changed bacteria taxa at the genus (F) and family (G) levels. Data are presented as boxplots. Statistical comparison was performed using non-parametric Wilcoxon rank sum test. n = 9/group, except for n = 8 in DSS-treated WT group. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001
