Fig. 5: Enrichment in Lactobacillus and lower levels of Prevotella observed in RMs with elevated P. fragile parasitemia.

Fig. 5

A Line graph with line height along the y axis illustrating the CLR-transformed levels of Lactobacillus (circles) and Prevotella (squares) and time represented linearly on the x axis for RM cohorts (Building A/high fiber=teal; Building B/high protein=purple; n = 8 RMs per group). Data points are faceted by cohort. Week=W. B Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLSDA) showing the separation of microbial communities between the two cohorts based on mean aggregated CLR-transformed counts of ASVs. The x axis represents the first discriminant component (comp1) which captures the maximum variance between the two cohorts. Points represent individual ASVs, with the color indicating the family and the size reflecting the relative prevalence of each ASV. The direction of the axis indicates increased abundance in Building A/high fiber to the right and Building B/high protein to the left.
