Changes in dominant bacterial diversity and composition. Cecal samples from mice in the CARB and HF group (n=6 each) were analyzed by Illumina sequencing of 16S rRNA gene amplicons (V4 region; 233 bp). Sequences were analyzed using QIIME and the RDP. (a) Principal component analysis revealed grouping of samples according to diet. (b) HF feeding was associated with a significant reduction in the proportion of sequences assigned to the family Ruminococcaceae and an increase in the proportion of Rikenellaceae. Taxa were assigned using the Greengenes Database (released October 2012).
