Impact of the three cereal fractions on the gut microbiota composition assessed by Illumina sequencing. Relative abundance of selected genera in cecal content of mice fed a control diet (CT), a western diet (WD), a WD supplemented with 5% of wheat bran fraction with large particles (WD+WB), a WD supplemented with 5% of wheat bran with reduced particle size (WD+WBs) or a WD supplemented with 5% of AXOS (WD+AXOS) for 8 weeks. Individual values are presented with mean. Data with different superscript letters are significantly different at p < 0.05 (ANOVA).
