Variation in 4–5 mo-old breastfed (BF) and formula-fed (FF) infant microbiota between feeding types. (A) Bar charts with PERMANOVA results. Percent relative abundance (%RA) of genus-level taxa, stratified by feeding type. Taxa with %RA <1% were collapsed into the “Other” category. The results of PERMANOVA tests are summarized in the plot. (B) Principal coordinates plot. Individual subjects are indicated by smaller symbols (circles or squares), with group affiliations designated by symbol shapes and color coding. Mean PC values for each group along the x- and y-axes are indicated by larger shapes, whereas ellipses represent 95% CIs. (C) Alpha-diversity. Violin plots show distributions of α-diversity indices by feeding type. ANOVA test results are indicated above each plot. BF (n = 54), FF (n = 61). Taxa listed at the family level are those that cannot be identified at the genus level. ANOVA, analysis of variance; CI, confidence interval; PERMANOVA, permutational analysis of variance; rRNA, ribosomal ribonucleic acid; Dim 1 & Dim 2, Principal coordinates dimensions 1 and 2.
