HFD feeding and prebiotic treatment affect the proportions of different phyla. The composition of abundant bacterial phyla identified in the gut microbiota of (a) control diet-fed mice (CT) (n=9), (b) CT diet-fed mice treated with prebiotics (CT-Pre) (n=9), (c) HFD-fed mice (HFD) (n=7) and (d) HFD-fed mice treated with prebiotics (HFD-Pre) (n=10). Undetected phyla are not represented on the pie chart. The significant changes in specific phyla are shown in Supplementary Table S1.
