Microbial diversity of HCC tissues and normal liver tissues in mice. A Microbial alpha diversity estimated by Chao1 index was significantly increased in HCC tissues compared with normal liver tissues. B Beta diversity was calculated using PCoA based on Bray–Curtis distance (p = 0.001), respectively. It indicated distinctly different microbiota compositions between HCC and normal liver tissues. C Composition of microbiota at phylum level in HCC tissues versus normal liver tissues. Comparison of microbiota at the D phylum, E genus, and F species levels between groups.
