Fig. 4

Strict anaerobes and disruptor taxa control diversity. A PCA plot of absolute microbial abundances at the genus level with the top two correlated metadata variables overlaid. B Feature loadings for principal component 2. Top five value-ranked genera in each direction (positive and negative) are highlighted and labeled. C Correlation between the strict anaerobic microbial load and facultative anaerobic microbial load. D Relationship between the percentage abundance of strict anaerobes and Shannon diversity index. E Empiric cumulative distribution function (ECDF) plot for Enterobacteriaceae (N = 33), Escherichia-Shigella (N = 24), Campylobacter (N = 59), Lactobacillus (N = 42), and the common taxa Prevotella (N = 104)
