Fig. 9From: Gut microbiome changes in overweight male adults following bowel preparationPrincipal component analysis of 12 predictive functional modules using PICRUSt in level 3 KEGG database. Each sample is represented by a colored point. (a) Red means type 1 samples, and blue means type 2 samples. The 60 fecal samples are mainly separated into two clusters. (b) Three colors denote the three different sample collection times. Gray means prior to bowel preparation, denoted as SB; orange means 7 days after colonoscopy, denoted as D7; and blue means 28 days after colonoscopy, denoted as D28. The SB and D7 fecal samples are roughly separated into two parts: the first part consists of 80% of the SB samples; the second part consists of 70% of the D7 samples. As for the D28 samples, 55% of them are closer to the predominantly SB part and 45% are in the predominantly D7 partBack to article page
