Dietary inclusion of FRS induced distinct shifts in the colon microbiota composition. Observed zOTUs and Shannon diversity based on rarefied zOTU table with Illumina sequencing on V3 region (Illumina V3) (a); Observed features and Shannon diversity based on species-level summarized table by Illumina V3 (b) and Oxford Nanopore sequencing on V1-V8 region (ONT V1-V8) (c). The mean value for each group is marked as a bold line respectively. PCoA plots of binary Jaccard and Bray Curtis distance metrics based on the rarefied ASV table of Illumina V3 (d), species-level summarized table of Illumina V3 (e) and species-level summarized table of ONT V1-V8 (f). The ellipses suggest the respective 80% confidential area following multivariate t-distribution. Respectively n = 9, 8, 10 for feeding regimens with 0%, 2.5% and 5% added lacto-fermented rapeseed-seaweed blend (FRS). For pairwise Wilcoxon rank-sum tests on alpha diversity metrics, the labels of *, ** represent P < 0.05, < 0.01 respectively. For PERMANOVA tests, P values below 0.05 are heighted in yellow
