From: Gut microbiome variation modulates the effects of dietary fiber on host metabolism
Dietary fibers cause significant restructuring of transplanted human-derived microbial communities. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of cecal communities of gnotobiotic mice colonized with SubA and SubB exposed to diets containing cellulose (orange), inulin (purple), pectin (pink), or assorted fiber (green). a, b Principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) of unweighted and weighted UniFrac distances, respectively. SubA community is represented by squares and SubB by circles. c Cladograms generated using LEfSe analysis; comparison results are presented for the two communities in each diet, colors distinguish taxa differences between SubA (magenta) and SubB (yellow) communities. Diet is indicated in each of the four cladograms (C = cellulose, I = inulin, P = pectin, Af = assorted fiber). d Genus/family level relative abundances of taxa. Taxa that showed significant differences in relative abundance through the interventions are marked with an asterisk (Kruskal-Wallis test and LDA P < 0.05)
