Fig. 3From: Comprehensive analysis of the fecal microbiota of healthy Japanese adults reveals a new bacterial lineage associated with a phenotype characterized by a high frequency of bowel movements and a lean body typeCluster analysis based on the bacterial family compositions of the microbiota. Clusters were identified by conducting a PCoA with the PAM algorithm for the whole cohort (a) and for the female (b) and the male (c) subjects based on the bacterial family composition of the microbiota. The relative contributions of PC1 versus PC2 for (a), (b), and (c) were 35.4% versus 18.4%, 32.6% versus 18.8%, and 40.1% versus 17.2%, respectively. In (c), the different colors indicate that the clusters were statistically reliableBack to article page
