Sample specific microbiota diversity measures for each sample time point and both experimental groups in trial 1. A Richness, and B Chao1 and C Shannon diversity indices are shown. Group means are shown with a horizontal bar, overhead bars and asterisks denote statistically significant differences between groups, identified with a Kruskal–Wallis, followed by a pairwise Wilcoxon-test, using a Bonferroni-correction to correct for multiple comparisons. Relevant significant differences are indicated by asterisks as follows: * = P < 0.05
