Gut Microbiome Composition Across Phyla and alpha-Diversity Measures Among Clusters.
A: Box plot displaying the relative abundances of the top 4 abundant phyla across clusters. Cluster H exhibited higher abundances of Bacillota and Actinobacteria, whereas Cluster L showed higher abundances of Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria. B: Box plot comparing trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) levels between clusters. No significant difference in TMAO levels was observed between clusters. C: Box plot comparing operational taxonomic units (OTUs) between clusters. Cluster L displayed a higher mean number of OTUs compared to Cluster H. D: Box plot representing the Chao1 index across clusters. Cluster L demonstrated a significantly higher Chao1 index compared to Cluster H. E: Box plot depicting the Shannon index across clusters. Cluster L exhibited a significantly higher Shannon index compared to Cluster H.
