a

Means among the four diet groups were compared by ANOVA followed by Duncan’s test.

b

Within a column, means with different letters indicate diet groups showing a significant difference (P < 0.05). The number of observed OTUs was normalized by randomly subsampling 15,000 clean sequences from each sample.
