  1. Data shown for taxa with total mean relative abundance > 1%. Values in % ± SEM. 1,2Significant difference in diet (D) and/or time (T) and/or the interaction (D:T) in analysis of variance (ANOVA) at: *P ≤ 0.05, **P ≤ 0.01, ***P ≤ 0.001. The time factor had two levels denoting if samples were collected before or after the diet period. #Non-logarithmic values were used in the model, (uncl = unclassified)
