Microbial community differences are associated with distinct metabolite profiles at the final time point. A Log ratio of Bifidobacteriaceae relative to Lachnospiraceae and Ruminococcaceae for all 2′-FL mice (PRE + SYN), grouped as either above (n = 14) or below (n = 6) the median 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PD) concentration and B microbial community NMDS plot grouped as above and below the median 1,2-PD concentration; C log ratio of Bacteroidaceae relative to Bifidobacteriaceae for all 2′-FL fed mice (PRE + SYN), grouped as either above (n = 12) or below (n = 8) the median propionate concentration; D microbial community NMDS plot grouped as above and below the median propionate concentration; E Log ratio of Lachnospiraceae and Ruminococcaceae relative to Bifidobacteriaceae for all treatments, grouped as either above (n = 19) or below (n = 19) the median butyrate concentration. 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. NMDS was generated using β-diversity index weighted UniFrac distance in two dimensions. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01
