Variations in (a) Venn diagram of the overlap at OTU level. (b) The discovered species. (c) The alpha diversity (Shannon index). (d) The Bacteroidetes/Firmicutes ratio. (e) Overall gut microbial structure, principal co-ordinates analysis based on the Bray-Curtis distance. (f) The relative abundance on phylum level. (g) The relative abundance on genus level. FHVD-Pre (n = 25), FHVD-Post (n = 25), NFHVD-Pre (n = 18), and NFHVD-Post (n = 18). OTU, Operational Taxonomic Unit. Wilcoxon matched pair signed-rank tests (two tailed) were used to analyze pairwise Pre and Post within diets. A Mann-Whitney test was used to analyze differences between the FHVD and NFHVD groups at the same time point. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01. The bounds, whiskers and percentile of each box plot represented maximum, 75 percentile, median, 25 percentile and minimum from the top to the bottom respectively.
