Effect of HC diet on the microbial communities at the phylum and genus levels. a The phylum comparison of bacterial OTUs between LC and HC groups (n = 5, values are medians). b The predominant genus (the relative abundance > 1% at least in one sample) comparison of bacterial OTUs between LC and HC groups (n = 5, values are medians). c The significantly changed genus (more than 10-fold changes of relative abundance) between LC and HC groups (n = 5, values are medians). Logarithmic coordinate axis was used in the panel A and C. Asterisks indicate the level of statistically significant difference: * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01
