Microbial diversity and relative abundances of EVs in human feces. Metagenomic data showing microbial diversity. (a) Microbial diversity in the feces of type 2 diabetic patients and healthy controls. (b) Microbial diversity in the fecal EVs of type 2 diabetic patients and healthy controls. (c) Heat map of normalized EV contents. Only species that showed significant differences were used to draw this heat map (P<0.05). The order of species was sorted by the content ratio (type 2 diabetes patients over healthy controls), showing that A. muciniphila might be a candidate EV-secreting bacterium that suppresses type 2 diabetes.
