Taxonomic identity of predicted functions for lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis and flagellar assembly in cecal and colonic samples of control starch (CON) and transglycosylated starch (TGS)-fed pigs (n = 8 per diet and gut site). a gene abundance related to lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis in cecal samples; b gene abundance related to lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis in colonic samples; c gene abundance related to flagellar assembly in cecal samples; d gene abundance related to flagellar assembly in colonic samples. Values are presented as the mean of hit counts per dietary starch. Hit counts were normalized with DESeq2-size factors. Only the taxonomic identity of the 10 most abundant genera is presented. Abundance change significance (p < 0.05 (false discovery rate, q < 0.10)) between dietary starches is presented in Table S7 and S8
