Effects of diet and loss of ovarian hormone production on adiposity, inflammation, cecal integrity, and gut microbial communities of rodent models
… analysis (PCoA) of weighted and unweighted UniFrac distances of cecal microbiota revealed a sharp separation (p<0.05) between soy- and control-fed groups. The soy-fed group had a lower (p<0.001) Firmicutes:Bacteroidetes ratio compared to control. The objective of aim 2 was to determine the …

Altered Vulvar Microbiomes in Vulvar Lichen Sclerosus
… was used to quantify alpha diversity. Unweighted UniFrac (bacteria) and Bray-Curtis dissimilarity (fungi) were used to quantify beta diversity. Relative abundance testing was performed at sites with significant community structural alterations using Linear discriminant analysis Effect Size (LEFSE) …

Effects of iso-alpha-acids on rumen fermentation and comparison of microbial populations between rumens and continuous culture fermenters
… in microbial community were assessed using UniFrac metrics, Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) and analysis of similarity (ANOSIM) based on Bray-Curtis dissimilarity matrices. Differences in taxonomic composition of different sample types were analyzed at kingdom, phylum, class, order …

Phenotypic and microbial influences on dairy heifer fertility and calf gut microbial development
… outcome at d 30 and d 84 using unweighted Unifrac distances and was different based on season of breeding using weighted Unifrac distances. We observed an increase of Bacteroidetes in PS30 and PS84 heifers compared to NP30 and NP84 heifers. Ureaplasma and Ruminococcus had an increased …

Effect of Standard Post-harvest Interventions of Fresh Vegetables on Bacterial Community Dynamics, Pathogen Survival and Antibiotic Resistance
… on carrots, represented by the weighted Unifrac distance matrices (ANOSIM, R=0.465). Storage of sanitizer-washed carrots at 10ºC was associated with an increase in relative abundance of Pseudomonadaceae compared to 2ºC storage for 7 d (Wilcoxon, p<0.05). Increase in storage temperature …

Nutrition and the GI microbiota in children with autism spectrum disorder and impact on symptom severity
… (p=0.02) based on unweighted but not weighted d UniFrac. α-diversity measured as observed Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) tended to be higher (p=0.08) in ASD. Microbial abundances on the phyla, family, order and genera level were observed. Namely, ASD had higher levels of Firmicutes, …

Effects of yeast products on immune response and intestinal health of dogs and mice
… coordinates analysis of weighted and unweighted Unifrac distances of fecal and cecal microbiota revealed that PH mice clustered together (P < 0.05) and away from control or SCFP groups. Additionally, PH mice overall had greater (P < 0.05) gene expression of Cldn2, Cldn3, Cldn8, and Ocln compared …

A study of the genital microbiotas of black South African women and men: associations with human papillomavirus and HIV infections
… taxa. Procrustes analyses of the weighted UniFrac distances further showed a statistically consistent clustering between the two methods (M 2 =0.3, p< 0.0001). The IM-V3/V4 method proved to have a greater throughput, longer read-length, and lower error rates than the IT-V4 method and was …

Change in the Structure of Soil Microbial Communities in Response to Waste Amendments
Soil microbial communities are affected extensively by addition of amendments to their environment. Of particular concern is the addition of poultry litter, which contains a substantial C, energy, and nutrient supply, but also antibiotic resistance genes (ARG), antimicrobials, and a multitude of …
