(A) Effect of treatment on Firmicutes-to-Bacteroidetes (F/B) ratios in murine dental microbiome. The F/B ratio was significantly different between ‘Sugar’ and ‘Sugar + Fiber’ treatments (ANOVA, Tukey’s Test, p = 0.028). (B) Box plot of within-group Bray–Curtis similarity distributions for each treatment group. Bray–Curtis similarity values were calculated using a genus-level biological observation matrix (BIOM). Within-group Bray–Curtis similarity of replicates was not significantly different between treatments (one-way ANOVA; p = 0.788).
