Variations of the bacterial gut microbiota. A Cladogram depicting the taxonomic hierarchical structure of distinguished phylotype created by LEfSe analysis. Each filled circle indicates a certain type of phylotype. Different colors represent different groups. Colored node consistent with the group color indicated important microbe biomarkers in the group and the name of biomarkers are listed in the upper right corner. The yellow notes suggest biomarkers which do not show any significant differences among groups. B Graphics of Linear discriminant analysis (LDA). Horizontal bars demonstrated the effect size. The length of the bar indicates the log10 transformed LDA score, represented by vertical dotted lines. The bacteria with statistically significant changes (p < 0.05) are shown alongside the horizontal lines
