Fuc influenced the composition of cecal microbiota in mice. a Alpha diversity indices (Chao 1, observed OTUs, Shannon and PD whole tree) in bacterial microbiomes. b Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) based on the abund jaccard distance analysis of operational taxonomic units (OTUs). c The principal component 1 (PC1) distance in abund jaccard distance analysis among the three groups. d Relative abundance at the class level of all the three groups. Relative abundance of e Deltaproteobacteria, f Deferribacteres, and g Actinobacteria at the class level. h Relative abundance of Bifidobacterium at the genus level. i Relative abundance at the family level of all the three groups. Relative abundance of j Desulfovibrionaceae, k Deferribacteraceae, l Porphyromonadaceae, and m Bifidobacteriaceae at the family level. n = 7–12. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. Difference between groups were assessed by one-way ANOVA. *p < 0.05, HFD group vs NC group; #p < 0.05, HFD group vs HFD + Fuc group
