Associations of increase in specific dietary nutrients with major microbial phyla, Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, and Other (comprised of all other phyla) based on a multiple linear regression model. Panels a-j show the significant shifts in microbial composition against specific nutrients using networks. In each network, a node represents a phylum and a directed arrow from Phyla 1 to Phyla 2 represents a statistically significant increase. The value (x) on each edge represents a x-fold increase in Phyla 2 compared to Phyla 1, with each unit standard deviation (SD) increase in the corresponding dietary variable. The value (x) is calculated as exp(β), where β is the regression coefficient corresponding to the linear regression of the ratio Phyla 2/Phyla 1 on the dietary variables. For example, there is a 3.63 times increase in Actinobacteria compared to Proteobacteria for 1 SD increase in vitamin E intake
