Microbial phyla modulated by guar gum administration.
| Microbial phyla showing higher abundances after late (final) intervention period | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basal | Final | |||
| Phylum | Mean | SD | Mean | SD |
| Firmicutes unclassified | 0.57 | 0.71 | 0.68 | 0.89 |
| Verrucomicrobia | 1.52 | 3.02 | 1.74 | 3.42 |
| Proteobacteria | 0.91 | 0.87 | 1.05 | 0.88 |
Mean abundances and standard deviations (SD) of microbial phyla are compared at pre-administration (basal) and late (final) administration periods. These taxa showed significantly (p < 0.05 and padj < 0.25) higher abundances at final period than basal period.
