Bacterial Atlas of Mouse Gut Microbiota

Figure 3

Bacterial composition in the gut microbiota of male and female mice. (a) Number of the bacteria in male and female mouse gut microbiota at each classification level. (b) Relative abundance of gut bacteria in male and female mice. “Uncultured” represented the bacteria that could not be cultured. “Unclassified” indicated the sequences that could not be classified. “Norank” represented that there was no classification information or classification name. Bacteria with a relative abundance of less than 1% were classified as “Others.” (c) Core bacteria in the gut microbiota of female mice at the genus level. The left side of the black line represented the core bacterium shared by male and female mice, while the right side of the black line indicated the core bacteria different from male mice. (d) Core bacteria in the gut microbiota of male mice at the genus level. The left side of the black line indicated the core bacteria shared by male and female mice. (e) Core bacteria in the gut microbiota of female mice at the species level. The left side of the black line represented the core bacterium shared by male and female mice, while the right side of the black line indicated the core bacteria different from male mice. (f) Core bacteria in the gut microbiota of male mice at the species level. The left side of the black line represented the core bacteria shared by male and female mice. (g) Relative abundance of the core bacteria in the gut microbiota of female and male mice at the genus level. “Uncultured” indicated the bacteria that could not be cultured. “Unclassified” showed the sequences that could not be classified. “Norank” represented that there was no classification information or classification name. Only the bacteria with a relative abundance of more than 1% were listed.
