PICRUSt predictions of function. Using PICRUSt analysis of microbiota, increases in mycothiol biosynthesis (a), urea cycle activity (b), and catechol degradation (c, d) were found during the period of psyllium supplementation (Day 7). Functional profiling references are from MetaCyc Metabolic Pathway Database. Bars represent mean ± SEM with blue bars representing yearling samples and red bars representing adult samples. Two-way ANOVA indicated p < 0.05 for these pathways. Subsequent post-hoc contrasts indicated p < 0.05, designated with “a” for comparing those days with Day 7 (mid-supplementation)
