The “core” dominant bacterial taxa in each body site of macaques and humans. (A) Heat map showing relative abundances of the dominant taxa in each body site in macaques and humans. Using OTUs summarized at the genus level, a total of 59 “core” bacterial taxa (at the genus, family or higher levels) comprising >1% mean abundance in any of the respective habitats were included. Scale bar represents log2 transformed relative abundance values, with highest value of −0.34 (a log2 of 79%) in red and lowest value of −6.64 (a log2 of 1%) in blue. (B) Venn diagram showing the number of “core” bacterial taxa in each body site of the surveyed macaques (left) and humans (right). (C) Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) for effect size (LEfSe) listing bacterial taxa that best discriminated macaque- (minus values in green) or human-associated microbial communities (positive values in red). A higher LDA score reflects higher relative abundances.
