Influence of probiotics administration on structure and function of murine intestinal microbiota. a~c PCoA of organismal structures of microbiota among the three groups of mice. d Similarity of the microbiota in organismal structure based on Meta-Storm distance. e~g PCA of functional gene structure (based on KEGG annotation) among the three groups of mice. h Similarity of the microbiota in functional gene structure based on cosine distance of KOs. i Heat map of the 16 differential OTUs between group P and group M of mice. j Metabolic pathways that were significantly altered between group P and group M, and between group M and group H. Pathways that drove the microbiota toward healthy state after probiotics administration were highlighted via red font. Pathways upregulated in group P (as compared to group M) yet downregulated in group H (as compared to group M) were colored with black, which represent microbial pathways induced by probiotics intake yet did not drive the microbiota towards the healthy state. Those pathways that were altered in one comparison yet not in the other were colored as gray. k Degree of microbiota divergence among group P, group M, and group H of mice, in terms of organismal structure of microbiota, functional gene structure of microbiota, as well as the mastitis symptom of the host
