Chao and Shannon Weaver indices for microbial populations in the feces of rats and mice exposed to various space-relevant environmental conditions.¹

1Data are LS mean±SEM. Means differing after initial analysis are indicated by different superscript letters and the remaining significant pairwise comparisons after performing an FDR procedure are indicated by * (q<0.2). CON = control iron diet/sham radiation, RAD = control iron diet/low LET γ radiation, IRON = high iron diet/sham radiation, IRON+RAD = high iron diet/low LET γ radiation.
