1. Taxonomic composition of the baboon and human gut microbiota.
Taxonomic composition of the baboon and human gut microbiota. (A) Principal-coordinate analysis (PCoA) plot of 16S-based profiles from individual baboon and human fecal samples (United States [USA], Venezuela [VEN], Malawi [MAL]). (B) Alpha diversity (Faith’s phylogenetic diversity index) in baboons and humans. (C) Relative abundances of major bacterial phyla across individuals, sorted by decreasing abundance of Actinobacteria. (D) Phylogenetic tree of bacterial taxa identified in human and baboon 16S rRNA data sets. Clades significantly enriched (LEfSe; linear discriminant analysis [LDA] log score of >4.0, P = 0.05) in baboon (red nodes) and human (green nodes) communities are indicated. Yellow nodes denote clades not enriched in either group.
