Association of Peptostreptococcaceae abundance with PDB and alpha diversity. A RDA analysis of the microbial composition of the run-in samples shows a negative association of participant-specific average relative abundances of L. rhamnosus and S. thermophilus during the intervention periods (indicated by the red arrows) with the Peptostreptococcaceae family relative abundance (explained variation 12.33%, p = 0.002). B Per individual average relative abundance of L. rhamnosus (yellow), S. thermophilus (red), and Peptostreptococcaceae (black) in samples taken during the respective intervention periods, and the run-in period, respectively. C, D Spearman correlation of average relative abundance of Peptostreptococcaeae in the run-in samples and average relative abundance of L. rhamnosus (C) and S. thermophilus (D) in the respective intervention period samples. Panel E&F: Relative abundance of the Peptostreptococcaceae family in all samples is negatively correlated (Spearman) with microbiota alpha diversity, reflected by richness (E, G) and evenness (F)
