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.
