Figure 8

Distribution pattern of all abundant (<1%) bacterial families in the caecum. Lines show the fold change versus controls; green line represents the null change (controls versus controls). Bar charts demonstrate the relative abundance (%) of each family. Colour key: green = controls; black = PN; red = PN+But. The significance (p<0.05) is shown using coloured boxes above the family names.
