Fig. 7: Association of ASV abundance with C. albicans concentration, assessed using MaAsLin2.

The name of the ASVs can be found in Table 1. A Volcano plot showing the association between ASV abundance and C. albicans concentration. Point size reflects ASV prevalence across samples (n = 76), and color indicates statistical significance (q-value threshold of 0.05). The 10 ASVs with the largest effect size (calculated as –log10(q-value) × coefficient) are labeled. B Scatter plots showing C. albicans concentration (qPCR) in relation to corrected ASV abundance (relative abundance × total bacterial concentration by flow cytometry). The black dotted line shows the MaAsLin2-derived regression line (coefficient of association). Facets are ordered by effect size, from most negative to most positive (top left to bottom right) from the MaAsLin2 analysis.
