Effect of diets on the structure and composition of the colonic microbiome. a PCA analysis based on weighted Unifrac distance among the samples of 906 taxa with significant abundance differences across at least one of the groups. PCA1, 54 % of variation; PCA2, 11 % of variation. Larger variation from the basal feed group represents greater dissimilarity. b HC-AN analysis of hierachical clustering based on weighed Unifrac distance between samples given abundance of 906 taxa present in at least one of the samples. In the dentrogram, components clustering with greater distance shows greater dissimilarity. PCA, principal component analysis. BF = basal feed; C2.5 = C. crispus 2.5 %; C0.5 = C. crispus 0.5 %; F2.5 = FOS Inulin 2.5 %; F0.5 = FOS Inulin 0.5 %
