Diet-induced alteration of cecal microbiota profiles. a Alpha-diversity shown as richness and Shannon effective counts. b Beta-diversity analysis via multidimensional scaling analysis of generalized UniFrac distances. The p value was obtained by PERMANOVA for testing the significance of separation between sample groups. c Boxplots of significantly altered taxonomic groups at the family level. Erysipelotrichaceae were detected in four of six CD-fed mice. d Relative abundances of dietary group-specific OTUs shown as a heat map. OTU sequences (ca. 450 bp of the V3/V4 region) were classified using EzTaxon. The range of relative abundances of each OTU is given in square brackets next to the corresponding OTU identification number. Statistics were performed and original graphs were generated in the R programming environment using Rhea [67]: *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001. Number of mice: CD, 6; BA, 6; PHB, 7; LHB, 6
