Correlations between endotoxin, QS signals, and bacterial taxa, and the Tax4Fun2 prediction for the ruminal bacterial populations. A Correlations between endotoxin, QS signals, and bacterial taxa at the phylum level. Red: positive; Blue: negative, B correlations between endotoxin, QS signals, and bacterial taxa at the genus level, C correlations between endotoxin, QS signals, and bacterial taxa at the species level, D Wilcoxon test for the predicted potential functions for the ruminal bacterial microflora between treatments based on the Tax4Fun2 analysis
