Families and genera of the faecal-derived microbial communities of premenopausal (PD) and younger healthy women (YD), differing over time in 24-h fermentation experiments in the presence of oilseed mix, inulin or without additions (Ctr -). Boxplots showing the relative abundance distribution of bacterial taxa in the different study groups at T0, T5 and T24 (YD inulin, light red; YD Ctr -, light yellow; YD oilseed mix, light green; PD inulin, dark red; PD Ctr -, dark yellow; PD oilseed mix, dark green). Only significantly different taxa or trends are shown (p value ≤ 0.2, Wilcoxon test)
