Within-sample alpha-diversity of stool of each subject collected at the end of each diet phase. Calculation of the alpha-diversity for each sample (blue: walnut diet, red: control diet) for evaluating species richness and diversity by using Shannon and Simpsons effective indices. The diversity of a microbial profile for a certain index is the number of different species related to abundance and richness.
