Fig. 8From: Morchella esculenta polysaccharide attenuate obesity, inflammation and modulate gut microbiotaEffect of MEP on alpha and beta diversity indices in HFD-induced obese mice. A Alpha diversity was shown in the Rank abundance curve, observed species, and Shannon. The rank abundance curve indicates microbial richness and abundance, respectively. B The PCoA, PCA, and NMDS plots were used to assess beta diversity. Every point represents each sample independently. Points with various colours suggest different treatment groups. The distance between the various points represents the similarities and variations of the microbial population structureBack to article page
