Effect of ST2 deficiency, cohousing, and diet on gut microbial richness and diversity. DNA was extracted from fecal pellets of male mice prior to exposure. Results of 16S rRNA sequencing of fecal DNA harvested from WT and ST2−/− (KO) mice fed chow or HFD for 12 weeks and housed with other mice of the same or opposite (cohoused) genotype. a Simpson index and (b) Richness. In a and b, bars indicate mean ± SEM. Each symbol indicates one mouse. # p < 0.05 versus chow fed mice with same genotype and housing. % p < 0.05 versus WT mice with same diet and housing; $ p < 0.05 versus same housed mice with same diet and genotype. SH: same housed. CH: cohoused
