Administration of P. pentosaceus YC for 4 weeks alerts gut microbiota composition. 16S rRNA gene sequencing of zebrafish intestinal contents from each group (n = 6). (A) Alpha diversity metrics, p-values were identified with Kruskal–Wallis rank sum test. (B) Gut microbiota community of each group at the phylum level. (C) Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) based on Bray–Curtis dissimilarity matrices to show beta diversity among groups at ASV level. (D) Heatmap analysis of 16 significantly changed ASVs in the YC4W group compared with the CON and YC1W group. The color bar of each ASV in each treatment is shown. The taxonomy of the ASVs (genus, family, and phylum) is described on the right.
