Relationships between phyla abundances and levels of SCFAs in feces. (A–C) Correlation matrices. (A) Phyla (V, Verrucomicrobia; P, Proteobacteria; F, Firmicutes; C, Cyanobacteria; B, Bacteroidetes; A, Actinobacteria). (B) SCFAs (A, acetate; P, propionate; B, butyrate). (C) Cross-correlation between phylum abundances and SCFA concentrations. The color scale indicates that negative correlation values are in blue tones, whereas positive correlation values are red.
