Figure 5

The relative abundance of the bacterial species of interest in the cecal microbiota of rats (n = 4 per group). Sequence read numbers of (A) FJ880918_s, (B) Alistipes_us, and (C) Bacteroides eggerthii. Control: basal diet group, DLJ: basal diet + 10% dried Laminaria japonica, HLJ: basal diet + 10% dried L. japonica heat-treated at 100°C for 30 min, FHLJ: HLJ + 0.6% fructooligosaccharide. Values are mean ± SD of the numbers of sequence reads of all OTUs belonging to each species. No common superscripts on the bars indicate significant difference in (B) Alistipes us at p < 0.05, and (A) FJ880918_s and (C) Bacteroides eggerthii at p < 0.01.
