Fig 1.
Principal coordinate analysis using Bray-Curtis distance (n = 8).
The sample labels with letter and numeric A1-A8, B1-B8 and C1-C8 correspond to the eight random sample in the rats fed with low sn-2 PA fat, medium sn-2 PA fat and high sn-2 PA fat diets, respectively.
Fig 2.
Venn diagram showing the unique and shared OTUs (3% distance level).
The sample labels with letter A, B and C correspond to the rats fed low sn-2 PA fat, medium sn-2 PA fat and high sn-2 PA fat diets, respectively.
Fig 3.
Fecal bacterial population at the genus level (n = 8).
Relative abundance of different bacterial genus within the different communities. Sequences that could not be classified into any known group were assigned as ‘Unclassified bacteria’ and ‘No_Rank’. The ones with an abundance less than 1% in the phyla and genera were combined as “others”. The sample labels with letter and numeric A1-A8, B1-B8 and C1-C8 correspond to the eight random sample in the rats fed with low sn-2 PA fat, medium sn-2 PA fat and high sn-2 PA fat diets, respectively.
