Intestinal microbial composition in 5-HTT-deficient mice. Relative abundance (%) of microbiota at the phylum level (a) and at the genus level (b) in fecal sample in each mouse (taxonomies with relative abundance of less than 1% or not identified were included in 'Others'). c–f Alpha diversity of the microbiota at the genus level: c observed number of microbial genera, d Chao1 index, e Shannon index, and f Simpson index. Values are means ± SEM. g Beta diversity of the microbiota at the genus level was visualized with principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) using Bray–Curtis dissimilarity. h Taxa differentially abundant between 5-HTT−/− and 5-HTT+/+ mice was identified by the linear discriminant analysis (LDA) effect size (LEfSe) method (LDA score > 3, p < 0.05)
