  1. Major species with average relative abundance >0.5% were analyzed. Colonization of the indicated taxa was examined using either or both of raw yam intake period samples. If no colonization was detected in a subject using Bifidobacterium-specific probe, species-level FISH for the subject was omitted. Bottom row: frequency of starch granules colonized by the indicated taxa among all granules; high: >65%, medium: 35–65%, low: <35%.
