2. Figure 1
Application of phosphorescence oximetry to intestinal oxygen measurements. (A) Intestinal oxygen measurements by phosphorescence quenching (the scheme does not represent correct proportions of physical dimensions). (B) Phosphorescence decays typically observed in tissue (Oxyphor G4) and intraluminal (OxyphorMicro) oxygen measurements. (C) Structure, optical absorption, and phosphorescence spectra of palladium (II) tetrabenzoporphyrin used as an oxygen-sensing element in both Oxyphor G4 and OxyphorMicro. (D) Calibration curves for Oxyphor G4 in physiological saline and OxyphorMicro directly in mouse fecal material at 36.5°C. Data for OxyphorMicro are a superposition of several animal samples.

3. Figure 2
Effect of altering the oxygen concentration in the inhaled gas mixture on host tissue and gut luminal oxygen levels. Arrows indicate switching pure O2 on (↓) and returning to ambient air (↑). (A) Changes in intestinal tissue Po2 in the cecum. Data for the liver tissue are shown for comparison. Changes in intestinal luminal Po2 using (B) trans-abdominal measurements and (C) in the cecum after laparotomy. (D) Relative time-dependent changes in tissue and luminal (cecum) Po2s: Δ Po2 = Po2 (t) - Po2 (0), where Po2 (t) and Po2 (0) are the Po2 values measured at time t and in the beginning of the experiment (time zero), respectively.

4. Figure 3
Differences in oxygen tolerance and community membership between the mucosally associated and fecal microbiota. Bacterial communities were profiled using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. (A) Separation of murine bacterial communities, analyzed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing of V1V2 tags, after day 6 of HBOT. An unweighted UniFrac plot is shown (P = .008; permanova). (B) Number of samples with operational taxonomic units annotating as Anaerostipes. The difference achieves P < 10e-10 (logistic mixed-effects model). (C) Number of bacterial genera classified as obligate anaerobes vs more oxygen-tolerant “all others” in paired human rectal biopsy and stool samples. (D) Number of bacterial genera classified as catalase positive vs catalase negative in paired human rectal biopsy and stool samples. (E) Relationship between mucosally and stool-associated microbiota using an unweighted UniFrac PCoA ordination (ellipses represent 95% confidence intervals for a multivariate normal distribution). (F) Pairwise distance in microbiota composition between stool, rectal biopsy, and rectal swab samples.

6. Figure 5
Gene content in gut bacteria inferred from 16S rRNA gene data. Gene content was inferred by using 16S rRNA gene tag data to access whole-genome sequences of bacterial relatives, and this information was used to infer potential gene content in the bacterial communities studied.

8. Supplementary Figure 2
Typical calibration plot obtained using the set-up shown in Supplementary Figure 1. Blue arrows indicate time points when readings of phosphorescence lifetimes of OxyphorMicro were taken, and red arrows show the matching lifetimes for the solution of Oxyphor G4, from which Po2 values were calculated.

9. Supplementary Figure 3
Bacterial lineages showing significant changes over time after HBOT vs controls (n = 5 in each group). Longitudinal behavior was analyzed using a generalized linear mixed-effects model, allowing a random intercept for each mouse, and tested for an interaction between treatment and time point. Shown are lineages achieving P < .05 after correction for multiple comparisons.

10. Supplementary Figure 4
Unassigned reads at each rank in taxonomy based on sample type. An analysis using a Kruskal–Wallis test of ranked proportions was performed to determine if there was a difference in unassigned reads between sample types. There was no statistically significant difference (P = .4848).
