Alterations in the gut microbiota. the phylum and genus levels. a-b, Relative abundances of the gut microbiota at the phylum level (a) and genus level (b). c-d, PCoA of the microbiota composition in the AutC and cycHFD groups (c) and in the AllC and cycHFD groups (d). e-f, Distribution histogram based on the LDA of the AutC and cycHFD groups (e) and the AllC and cycHFD groups (f). g-q, The relative abundances of Betaproteobacteria (g), Burkholderiales (h), Sutterellaceae (i), Bacteroides stercorirosoris (j), Turicimonas (k), Turicimonas_muris (l), Acetivibrio (m), Acetivibrio_ethanolgignens (n), Enterorhabdus_caecimuris (o), and Enterorhabdus (p). q, Heatmap of correlations between the gut microbiota, SCFAs and weight regain in the AutC, AllC and cycHFD groups. n = 5 per group. The data are presented as the mean ± s.e.m. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 vs. the cycHFD group
