Table 31. Taxa noted throughout our analysis.
Level | Taxon | Observation |
---|---|---|
Genus | Adlercruetzia | Role change from Control (Bacteroidetes cooperation) to ADHD (E. dolichum cooperation). Competition with different Firmicutes (in ADHD,). |
Genus | Bacteroides | Centroid (with nearly 100% connectivity) of cluster BB in ADHD. |
Genus | Bifidobacterium | Higher participation in Control (mostly competition). Competition with all Bacteroidetes or Proteobacteria taxa is entirely exclusive to Control, including multiple members and centroid of cluster BB. Cooperation (small amount) is entirely exclusive to ADHD.Ranked higher in Control than ADHD nearly 100% of the time, including a #1 ranking at the lowest taxonomic level. |
Genus | Coprobacillus | DESeq2-elevated ADHD taxon, and ranked #1 for ADHD in two MCNs (genus and lowest possible). Competes with multiple Lachnospiraceae taxa, including the most abundant. |
Family | Enterobacteriaceae | Involved with Firmicutes-Proteobacteria shifts. Only ranked in ADHD. |
Species | F. prausnitzii | Probiotic species only ranked in Control |
Family | Lachnospiraceae | Most abundant family, generally ranked higher in ADHD |
Genus | Phascolarctobacterium | Only FT member connected to another Firmicute-dominant cluster (competition). Only ranked in ADHD. |
Family | Porphyromonadaceae | #1 ADHD family, only cluster BB member to compete with FL/FR. |
Family | Rikenellaceae | Previously reported as ADHD-elevated. Ranked by ATria as important in all six lower level MCNs, and always higher in ADHD. |
Genus | Ruminococcus [L] | #1 Control genus, involved in FL-FR competition (only observed in Control). |
Species | R. gnavus | Produces inflammatory biosaccharide, only ranked in ADHD |
Family | Ruminococcaceae | Second-most abundant family, generally ranked higher in Control |
Genus | Turicibacter | Reported as differentially abundant (Control) by three methods (LEfSe, DESeq and ALDEx2), core member (centroid in ADHD) of FT. |
