Identification of dominant bacteria in distal intestine.

<p><b>A:</b> Dendrogram showing the similarities between DGGE profiles of PCR-amplified fragments of the 16S rRNA gene (V6–V8 region). The dendrogram was created using the Jaccard similarity coefficient as distance measure and Ward's clustering algorithm. <b>B:</b> Relative bacterial abundance in the distal intestine of the six different feeding groups. Abundance for a given bacterial species was calculated using the DGGE band intensities. <i>NSB*</i> = non sequenced DGGE bands.
