Figure 4

Alpha and beta diversity analysis of fungal communities associated with chronically diseased tissue and adjacent tissue. (A) Fungal community composition profiles illustrate abundances of prevalent taxonomic orders and families. All taxa unassigned at the kingdom level were removed. Patients are arbitrarily labelled A-I with chronically diseased tissue (DT) and adjacent tissue (AT) indicated. (B) Venn diagram of core mycobiome (including OTUs found in ≥80% of the samples) displays the number of OTUs that are similar (75.0%) and unique between chronically diseased tissue (DT) (8.3%) and adjacent tissue (AT) (16.7%). (C) LDA Effect Size (LEfSe) enrichment plots reveal significantly enriched fungi identified within each tissue type (chronically diseased tissue (DT) and adjacent tissue (AT)). Taxa with an LDA score >1.5 are presented.
