Fig 4. Gut microbiome according to dietary fiber intake.

Fig 4

(A) Unweighted principal coordinate analysis plot of the first two principal coordinates categorized by fruit and vegetable fiber intake (Low: 1.6–11.7 g/day [equivalent to quartile 1–3], High: 11.7–21.9 g/day [quartile 4]). Ellipses were added to plots using the R package, latticeExtra (R version 2.15.3). (B) A heatmap based on unsupervised classification of Spearman correlations between the relative abundance of taxa (genus level) and three dietary fiber sources using the R package, gplots, (R version 2.15.3). For this analysis, only genera that were present in ≥15% of samples were included. Taxa belonging to Clostridia (Cluster 1, *) and Bifidobacteriales (Cluster 2, °) are marked.
