From: Parasites and diet as main drivers of the Malagasy gut microbiome richness and function
Impact of dietary habits on gut microbiome composition in Malagasy volunteers. (A) Heatmap depicting the bacterial genera having an abundance modulated by daily dietary habits. Liquid consumption is expressed in litre (L), rice in gram (g), fruits in number and other dietary information as yes/no question. Red, blue and green boxes indicate whether the abundance is higher, equal or lower in individuals positive for the listed food type. ANOVA (group > 2) and Wilcoxon test (group = 2) were run all over genera count dataset according to diet. Only boxes tagged with a star are considered statistically informative. The heatmap was generated using R software (https://cran.r-project.org/) with in-house code that uses basic functions included in "stats" and "graphics" packages. It uses genera abundance (as listed in rows) and highlights, for daily consumption of liquid, rice and fruit items, the category that are the most significantly different from others. For Meat, Fish, Yogurt-HM and Yogurt-I items, the heatmap indicates genera whose abundances are increased/decreased in individuals consuming these items. (B) Proportion of individuals included in each enterotype according to food type’s consumption. (C) Bacterial load distribution among meat and fish eaters (Y) as compared to non-eaters (N). (D) Proportion of individuals eating either yogurt (Cons+) (home-made yogurt, industrial yogurt or both (I&HM)), as function of cumulative number protozoans detected in an individual.
