Effects of dietary copper and fructose on gut bacterial diversity and abundance. a Alpha-diversity: alpha rarefaction curves with each treatment using observed OTU measure and Shannon index. b Beta-diversity: weighted and unweighted UniFrac. c Taxonomic composition (percentage) of the gut microbiota at the phylum level. Cu, copper; A, adequate copper diet; AF, adequate copper diet +10% fructose (w/v) in the drinking water; M, marginal copper diet; MF, marginal copper diet +10% fructose (w/v) in the drinking water. M (first letter in the group name), male; F (first letter in the group name), female
