Figure 3: Associations of lifestyle factors with sputum microbiota.
From: Analysis of the association between host genetics, smoking, and sputum microbiota in healthy humans
(a) Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) plot of genus composition. Points represent samples that are colored according to pack-years of smoking. Gray points indicate samples with missing pack-year values. The black arrows indicate significant correlations with the ordination, whereas the gray arrows indicate non-significant correlations. (b) Significant associations between pack-years of smoking and microbial taxa. The r-coefficient and q-value shown in each plot were determined by MaAsLin analysis.
