Composition and Predicted Metabolic Capacity of Upper and Lower Airway Microbiota of Healthy Dogs in Relation to the Fecal Microbiota
Fig 7
Relative abundance in each sample site of predicted gene content expressed at highest levels in BALF.
Bar charts showing the relative abundance in each group of select pathways predicted to be enriched in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples, including branched chain amino acid transport (A), general amino acid transport (B), sorbitol mannitol transport (C), multiple sugar transport (D), Leucine degradation (E), methionine degradation (F), the glyoxylate cycle (G) the Entner-Doudoroff pathway (H), the citrate cycle (I), and the second carbon oxidation of the citrate cycle (J); solid lines denote mean values within each group, dashed lines denote median values.
