Changes in fecal concentrations of (a) acetate, (b) propionate, and (c) butyrate. Changes in the abundance of genes that encode the key enzymes in (d) acetate production [formate-tetrahydrofolate ligase fhs and acetate kinase ack], (e) propionate production [lactoyl-CoA dehydratase lcd, propionaldehyde dehydrogenase pduP, and methylmalonyl-CoA decarboxylase mmd], and (f) butyrate production [butyryl–coenzyme A (butyryl-CoA):acetate CoA transferase but and butyrate kinase buk]. 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.
