| Abstract |
Fecal sample collection is an important influential factor for DNA-based gut microbiota study. It is controversial whether the microbiome detected in fecal sample collected at one random day could fully represent the gut microbial community. The aim of the study is to figure out whether the use of fecal sample mixture collected at consecutive 5 days could more accurately represent gut microbial community. 1- and 5-day fecal samples were collected from 8 healthy adults and analyzed by 16S rRNA sequence. Our results indicated that both 1-day fecal samples and 5-day samples exhibited relatively high repeatability. The relative abundance of majority of bacterial taxa did not changed between 1-day fecal samples and 5-day fecal samples. However, the alpha diversity of 5-day fecal samples was higher than that of 1-day fecal samples. When the aims of studies are to analyze the relative abundance of specific OTUs among subjects, fecal samples collected at one day could be used. When microbial diversity is one of essential factors to be analyzed, the use of 5-day fecal samples may be more recommended. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 13. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 August 2018.
All research outputs
#2,752,154
of 24,885,505 outputs
Outputs from Current Microbiology
#53
of 2,623 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#61,842
of 452,608 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Microbiology
#2
of 44 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,885,505 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 88th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,623 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.2. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 98% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 452,608 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 44 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its contemporaries.
