Polysaccharides of L. japonica (LJP) modulated gut microbiota (GM) composition at the phylum level in high-fat diet-fed mice. (A) Bacterial taxa relative abundance of all the groups at the phylum level. (B) Heat map of cluster stacking at the phylum level. (C) The relative abundances of Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, and the ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes, Verrucomicrobia, Proteobacteria, Epsllonbacteraeota, Actinobacteria and Cyanobacteria. Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 5 for Model and n = 6 for the other groups). ## p < 0.01, #### p < 0.0001 Model vs. Normal; * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001 vs. Model.
