Figure 6. A high-salt diet depletes lactic acid–producing bacteria and leads to colonization of the gut by families Lachnospiraceae and Prevotellaceae in mice.

Figure 6

(A) Effect of high salt on bacterial number of the Firmicutes phylum belonging to class Bacili, order Lactobacillales, family Leuconostocaceae, and genus Leuconostoc. (B) Effect of high salt on bacterial number of the class Bacilli belonging to the order Bacillales and genus Weissella. (C) Effect of high salt on bacterial numbers of the order Lactobacillales belonging to family Streptococcaceae. (D) Effect of high salt on bacterial number of the Firmicutes phylum belonging to class Clostridia, order Clostridiales, family Lachnospiraceae, and genus Lachnospiraceae UCG-006, Incertae Sedis, and the Lachnospiraceae FCS020 group and (E) family Prevotellaceae and genus Prevotella (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.001, ***P < 0.0001, n = 10 normal salt and n = 9 high salt using 2-tailed unpaired Student’s t tests).
