Fig 4. Alpha- and beta-diversity of the gut microbiome.

Fig 4

(A) Alpha-diversity, calculated with Observed ASVs richness, differed significantly among ABs, CDs, and HCs (p = .026). (B) Alpha-diversity, calculated with Chao1, differed significantly among groups (p = .012). (C) Shannon diversity index did not differ significantly among groups (p = .376). (D) Simpson diversity index did not differ significantly among groups (p = .626). (E) Principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) plot comparing gut microbial beta-diversity (Bray-Curtis dissimilarity) among ABs, CDs and HCs, exhibited no separation among groups.
