Effects of dietary supplementation with lysozyme and flavomycin on the composition and distribution of bacterial and fungal OTUs in the cecal microbiota of broiler chickens.

Abstract

(A&B) Venn diagrams showing the occurrence of bacterial (A) and fungal (B) OTUs identified in 16S rRNA and ITS fragment sequencing of cecal microbiota of chickens fed a basal diet supplemented with or without 40 (LYS40), 100 (LYS100), or 200 ppm (LYS200) lysozyme or 400 ppm flavomycin. (C&D) Grouping of cecal bacterial (C) and fungal (D) communities based on principle component analyses of Illumina sequencing of 16S rRNA amplicons (V3-V4 region) and ITS fragment sequencing, respectively.</p
