Comparison of gut microbiota with or without B. wadsworthia inoculation. a, b Rarefaction curves and Shannon diversity curves for each sample, respectively. c, d Rarefaction index and Shannon index respectively of NC and BW group on different days, at sampling depth of 10,810 reads. Data are shown as mean ± S.E.M. and tested by independent samples t test. *P < 0.05. e Structural comparison of gut microbiota of mice in two groups on Day 0, 1, 5 and 7 based on Bray–Curtis distance, Unweighted Unifrac distance and Weighted Unifrac distance. f P values of PERMANOVA, P values were adjusted with FDR. For both groups, n = 5
