Stratification of children based on genera in C3. a The PCoA plot shows three clusters (G31, G32, and G33) of children identified by PAM clustering of UniFrac distances from abundances of genera in C3. b Percentages of autoantibody positive and autoantibody negative, and breast-fed vs. formula-fed infants in each subgroup (+/−: breast feeding without formula feeding; +/+: breast feeding and formula feeding; −/+: formula feeding without breast feeding; NA no data on breast-feeding available). c Percentage of the number of solid food components (vegetables + potatoes + fruits + meat + formula) in each subgroup. d Mean relative abundance of the six dominant genera in community C1. e Mean relative abundance of the six dominant genera in community C2. f Mean relative abundance of the six dominant genera in community C3. Being mainly found in salt lakes [69] Salinibacillus might not be expected in the gut habitat. We therefore performed a refined clustering for sequences of OTUs annotated to Salinibacillus using ARB [70]. The resulting clustering of these sequences showed closer similarity to Bacillus (data not shown), suggesting that Salinibacillus was wrongly annotated
