Description: Researchers used t-tests to calculate the differences in microbiota at the taxon level between the control and experimental groups.
The following bacterial taxa were more abundant in mice with simulated endometriosis than in mice without endometriosis.
Abundance in Group 1: increased abundance in Mice who were injected with endometrial tissues

Signature 2
Source: Figure 4
Description: Researchers used the LEfse method to determine the predominant microbiota in each sample. They then used t-tests to calculate the differences in microbiota at the taxon level between the control and experimental groups.
The following bacterial taxa were less abundant in mice with simulated endometriosis than in mice without endometriosis.
Abundance in Group 1: decreased abundance in Mice who were injected with endometrial tissues
