Bacterial beta diversity analysis between exposure and probiotic treatment. Beta diversity was calculated using UniFrac distances and Principle Coordinates Analysis to show the similarities in microbial communities in both A weighted and B unweighted analyses. Each dot represents compared in C57Bl/6 male mice on high-fat (HF) diet exposed to diesel exhaust particles (DEP- 35 μg PM) or saline control (CON) twice a week for four weeks with a subset of mice given 0.3 g/day (~ 7.5 × 107 cfu/day) of Ecologic® Barrier probiotics (PRO) in the drinking water throughout the exposures. n = 6–7
