Influence of whole-wheat consumption on fecal microbial community structure of obese diabetic mice.

(2005) , lean mice had more Firmicutes and less Bacteroidetes compared to both obese and WW mice, a difference that did not reach statistical significance. qPCR confirmed the sequencing results about the abundance of Firmicutes but not Bacteroidetes, maybe due to the use of fecal (sequencing) or colon (qPCR) contents for bacterial analysis.
