Figure 2: Microbial metagenomic activity in maternal faeces, placenta, amniotic fluid, colostrum, meconium and infant faeces samples.

(A) Relative abundances of KEGG pathways at level 2 encoded in the microbiome present in maternal faeces (M), placenta (PL), amniotic fluid (AF), colostrum (C), meconium (Me) and infant faeces (INF) samples. (B) LDA scores for differentially abundant PICRUSt predicted microbial genes (specified as KEGG Orthology groups), pathways, and classified functional categories (Log LDA > 3.00) in amniotic fluid and meconium samples. (C) LDA scores for differentially abundant PICRUSt predicted microbial genes (specified as KEGG Orthology groups), pathways, and classified functional categories (Log LDA > 3.00) in amniotic fluid and colostrum samples.
