16S identification of bacteria found in the microbiota of healthy human subjects upon supplementation of Lactobacillus johnsonii N6.2 Raw sequence reads. Healthy Human Subjects' Bacterial Microbiome

16S Illumina sequencing was used to identify the bacterial species present within stool samples of healthy human subjects after giving supplements of Lactobacillus johnsonii N6.2 over a certain period. Roughly half the subjects were given the Lactobacillus johnsonii N6.2 supplement and the other half were given a placebo. The goal of this study was to assess if the administration of Lactobacillus johnsonii N6.2 caused shifts in the gut microbiota.
