Table 1 The 20 colonic bacterial genera with the greatest increase or decrease in abundance in rats fed a seaweed-supplemented diet (C2.5), and their abundance in other diet supplemented groups. 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 %
