Figure 4

Differentially abundant bacterial taxa in fecal samples from the MH and MU groups in overweight and obese subjects. (a) A forest plot showing taxa that were significantly differentially abundant between the MH (red) and MU (green) groups as determined using the Kruskal–Wallis test. LDA score (effect size) indicating significant differences in bacterial taxa (LDA score > 3.0; alpha value p < 0.05). (b) Cladogram generated using the LEfSe method showing the phylogenetic distribution of microbes associated with the MH and MU groups. Taxonomic levels of phylum, class, and order are labelled, while family and genus are abbreviated. Plots were depicted using LEfSe of Galaxy of the Huttenhower lab.
