Metabolic profiling of colon contents reveal distinct compositions in synbiotic treated mice with high persistence of bifidobacteria. A NMDS plot of mouse colon content metabolome at the final experimental time point; B colon content metabolites differ across highly enriched (HE) and moderately enriched (ME) persistence of Bifidobacteriaceae by HE (n = 4) and ME (n = 7); and C organic acid composition across treatment groups. NMDS was generated using Euclidian distance in two dimensions. Boxplots represent medians and interquartile range (IQR) with whisker end points equal to the maximum and minimum values below or above the median at 1.5 times the IQR. Organic acid composition was derived by the sum of each acid divided by the total. * p < 0.05
