a, b Shannon diversity and Chao1 of 16 S rDNA sequencing on fecal microbiota from mice exposed to RT (n = 8 biologically independent animals per group), LT (n = 4 biologically independent animals per group) and FT (n = 8 biologically independent animals per group). c PCA based on 16 S rDNA sequencing. d Bar chart of the relative microbiome abundance at family level. e Hierarchically clustered heatmap of differentiated distributed microbiota (P <0.05) at genus level. f Microbiota with top 10 LDA score in each group based on LEfSe analysis. Log10 (LDA score) were shown. g Decreased genera in FT group. n = 4 biologically independent animals per group. Data presented are mean±s.e.m. One-way ANOVA test for multiple comparisons with Tukey’s test for post hoc corrections. Source data are provided as a Source Data File.
