(a) Rarefaction curves demonstrating the Shannon index (evenness and richness metric) of the OTUs identified for the three groups: WT control, WT STZ, and NLRP3-KO STZ. Rarefaction of the OTU table was set to 794. Curves suggest no significant differences in alpha diversity. (b) Rarefaction curve using the Chao1 index for the three groups: WT control, WT STZ, and NLRP3-KO STZ, calculated using QIIME 1.7. Rarefaction of the OTU table was set to 794. Curves suggest no differences in alpha diversity.
