Analysis of the microbiota in the Argentinean population according to their BMI status. (A,B) Comparison of the microbiota profiles using the Principal Coordinates Analysis (PCoA) and the Canonical Correspondence Analysis method (CCA) based on the Bray–Curtis distance. The ellipses represent the standard deviation (C–E) Box-plots showing the Observed ASV diversity (B), the Shannon diversity (C), the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio (D). The solid black lines indicate medians, and the lower and upper bounds of the box represent the 25 and 75% quartiles. Outliers are indicated as black circles and represent samples falling outside the 10 and 90% quartiles. Statistical analysis was performed using the ANOVA test. Each color represents a specific BMI group population: blue box (Lean), green box (Overweight) and red box (Obese).
