Fig. 7: Interaction matrix and contribution matrix of a real microbial community.

From: An ecological framework to understand the efficacy of fecal microbiota transplantation

Fig. 7

a The interaction matrix of an ecological network inferred from mice experiments on antibiotic-mediated CDI66. b The contribution matrix of this ecological network. Zero rows and columns indicate two taxa that will go to extinction asymptotically in this community (see Supplementary Fig. 3 for details). The red boxes indicate the counter-intuitive cases of the network effect. For the visualization purpose, the color scale was set from −1 to 1, and the values <−1 (or >1) were indicated as the same color of the value −1 (or 1), respectively.
