Fig. 2: Dynamics of the different microbial families is shaped by age and diet.

a Relative abundance of 291 microbial families. All families belonging to the same phylum are colored by different shades of the same color. The main phyla are described in the top left corner of the figure. The Y-axis represents relative abundance and the X-axis represents all of the different samples (n = 1634) sorted by sampling day. See Supplementary Fig. 22 for the full family-level analysis. b Relative abundance of Bacteroidaceae (blue) and Prevotellaceae (brown). Both belong to the Bacteroidetes phylum. c Relative abundance of Succinivibrionaceae (blue) from the Proteobacteria phylum and Methanobacteriaceae (brown) from the Archaea domain over time. d Relative abundance of Verrucomicrobiaceae over time, Akkermancia muciniphilia (A. muciniphilia; brown), and all other Verrucomicrobia species (blue). e Relative abundance of Ruminococcaceae (blue) and Lachnospiraceae (brown).
