Richness, diversity and taxonomic analysis of the WT and Nod2 KO colon tissue-associated bacterial communities.

<p>Top panel: Incidence of phyla from treatment groups of WT and Nod2 KO littermates. Mean +/− SEM (n = 4–6) for each group is shown. * p≤0.05, ** p<0.01 by 2 way ANOVA with Bonferroni's multiple comparison test. Bottom panels: the Chao and Shannon estimates for richness and diversity were calculated from individual mice from each group as indicated (n = 4–6). The mean +/− SEM are shown. No differences were statistically significant by ANOVA.
