Ecological characteristic of the distinct microbiotypes. Box-plots show the Observed ASV diversity (A), Shannon diversity (B), Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio (C) for each microbiotypes. The solid black lines indicate medians, and the lower and upper bounds of the box represent the 25 and 75% quartiles. Statistical differences (*) between microbiotypes were determined using ANOVA or Kruskal Wallis test supported by Tukey or Dunn test respectively (p < 0.05).
