From: Gut microbiota response to in vitro transit time variation is mediated by microbial growth rates, nutrient use efficiency and adaptation to in vivo transit time

Principal coordinates analysis (PCoA, n = 90) of the genus-level quantitative microbial community compositions (A) and proportional microbial community compositions (B), based on Bray–Curtis dissimilarity, demonstrates a clustering by SHIME transit time (colour) along the first PCoA dimension and by the self-assessed in vivo corn transit time (shape, Table S1) along the second PCoA dimension. Short, medium and long SHIME transit times were 8, 16 and 24h in the proximal colon and 13, 26 and 39h in the distal colon
