Additional file 2: Supplementary Figure 2. Profiling of the gut microbiome in human donors by BMI. a, A total of 99 human samples were included in the analysis and were divided by Body Mass Index (BMI). b,c, Alpha (b, Shannon index) and beta (c, Bray Curtis distance) diversities of the gut microbiome between obese (BMI ≥ 25, n=41) and normal individuals (BMI < 23, n = 54). Statistical significance of alpha and beta diversities was calculated by Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test and PERMANOVA with 999 permutations, respectively. Error bars represent the distribution of diversity scores. Numbers in graphs indicate P-values representing the difference of alpha and beta diversities between groups. d, A plot of linear discriminant analysis (LDA) scores from the linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) method illustrates the relative abundances of taxa that differ significantly between groups.
