4. Bioinformatics analysis: the original double-ended sequence was stripped using trimmatic software. The impurity removal parameters are as follows: detecting and truncating the ambiguous base N; and the average base quality is checked by a sliding window method, and when the quality is lower than 20, the previous high quality sequence is intercepted. The double-end sequence after impurity removal is performed by using FLASH software. The splicing parameters are as follows: the smallest Overlap is 10bp, the largest Overlap is 200bp, and the largest mismatch is 20%. In order to ensure the accuracy of the result, precise impurity removal can be performed to remove sequences containing ambiguous bases (ambiguos) and single base high repetition regions (homologo) and sequences with too short length. The parameters of accurate impurity removal are as follows: the sequence containing N bases is removed, and the sequence with the mass fraction of the bases Q20 reaching at least 75% is reserved. At the same time, the chimaeric sequence in the sequence was detected and removed using UCHIME. After the sequencing data are preprocessed to generate high-quality sequences, vsearch software is adopted to classify the sequences into a plurality of OTUs according to the similarity of the sequences. The parameters are that the sequence similarity of 97% or more is classified as an OTU unit. The representative sequences of each OTU were picked using the QIIME software package and all representative sequences were aligned to the database for annotation. 16S was aligned using Greengenes or Silva (version 123) databases, species alignment annotation was performed using RDP classifier software, and annotation results with confidence intervals greater than 0.7 were retained. ITS uses Unite database alignment. The species alignment annotation uses blast software.
5. Phylum level flora composition and species differential analysis various taxonomic level flora composition analyses of bacteroides phylum were performed on mouse fecal samples, at the phylum level bacteroides phylum (bacterioides) and Firmicutes (Firmicutes) are usually dominant; meanwhile, the ratio of the thick-wall fungus door to the bacteroides is analyzed through a Stamp software Tukey-Kramer algorithm.
The relative abundance of bacteroides at the enterobacteria level is shown in fig. 5, where: NC is a control group; DSS is dextran sulfate sodium salt mediated group; LLZC is a low concentration laminarin carboxylate group (1 mg/mL); MLZC is a medium-concentration laminarin carboxylate group (5 mg/mL); HLZC is a high concentration laminarin carboxylate group (10 mg/mL). As can be seen from fig. 5: with the use of laminarin, the growth of probiotics is promoted, while the growth of pathogenic bacteria is inhibited. The concrete steps are as follows: along with the use of laminarin compounds, the relative abundance of probiotics such as bacteroides in intestinal bacteria of mice is obviously increased compared with that of a DSS group, and the relative abundance of bacteria of the phylum Firmicutes is obviously reduced compared with that of the DSS group. Meanwhile, since Firmics/bacterioides can reflect the degree of disturbance of intestinal flora.
The ratio of the relative abundance of the firmicutes/bacteroides flora is shown in figure 6, where: NC is a control group; DSS is dextran sulfate sodium salt mediated group; LLAM is a low concentration laminarin group (1 mg/mL); MLAM is medium-concentration laminarin group (5 mg/mL); HLAM is a high concentration laminarin group (10 mg/mL); LLZC is a low concentration laminarin carboxylate group (1 mg/mL); MLZC is a medium-concentration laminarin carboxylate group (5 mg/mL); HLZC is a high concentration laminarin carboxylate group (10 mg/mL); F/B ratio is the relative abundance of the Thick-wall and Bacteroides flora. As can be seen from fig. 6: the ratio of the relative abundance of the Phanerochaete (Firmics) and the Bacteroides (Bacteroides) in the laminarin compound group is drastically reduced compared with the DSS-mediated group, and is also reduced to a certain extent compared with the blank group and the laminarin group, which shows that the laminarin compound can regulate the imbalance of intestinal flora and has important effect on maintaining the stability of the intestinal flora.
