Figure 3

Comparisons of fecal microbiota compositions between TW and BMW consumption periods. (a) Family level compositions of fecal microbiota during the test. (b) Mean relative abundances of each taxa (-score) of weeks 1 and 3 (TW) and weeks 2 and 4 (BMW) were shown in dot plots overlaid on box plots in the same manner as in Figure 1(a). Only 8 families that their compositions were significantly different between TW and BMW consumption periods were demonstrated. ; .
