1. Variations in beta and alpha diversity of gut microbiome eukaryotic communities explained by presence of Blastocystis.
Variations in beta and alpha diversity of gut microbiome eukaryotic communities explained by presence of Blastocystis. (A) Principal-component analysis (PCoA) ordination of variation in beta diversity of human gut eukaryotic communities based on Bray-Curtis dissimilarities among samples. Colors represent the presence of Blastocystis in gut microbial communities (red for negative and blue for positive). (B and C) Shannon diversity (B) and Chao1 estimated richness (C) display differences in alpha diversity. Significant differences are shown by P values of Mann-Whitney tests for comparison between 2 groups. (D) Relative abundances of the 10 most abundant eukaryotic OTUs relative to the presence of Blastocystis. Significant differences, calculated by DESeq2 (Wald test plus FDR), are shown.
