Divergent bacterial alpha diversity maturation patterns are observed in the first year of life. A Bacterial Shannon and Chao1 alpha diversity indices at 3 and 12 months of age, assessed by Mann–Whitney U test (3 months: n = 99, 12 months: n = 99). B Comparison of bacterial beta diversity using the Bray–Curtis dissimilarity index at 3 and 12 months, assessed by PERMANOVA (3 months: n = 99, 12 months: n = 99). Ellipses represent 95% CI. C Changes in bacterial alpha diversity (Shannon index) per individual from 3 to 12 months, assessed by paired t-test (increase: n = 74, decrease: n = 24; see Figure S2A for bacterial richness). D Comparison of bacterial beta diversity using the Bray–Curtis dissimilarity index by alpha diversity trend at 3 and 12 months, assessed by PERMANOVA (increase: n = 74, decrease: n = 24; see Figure S2B for bacterial richness trend). Ellipses represent 95% CI
