Figure 4. The effect of early-life PAT on microbiota maturity and dietary responses.

Figure 4

(a) The OTUs that predict maturity and explained the greatest degree of variation in the model, ranked by contribution to reduction of mean square error (MSE). (b) Abundance of predictive OTUs over time. Dashed lines indicate introduction of HFD, time points 1–14 correspond to sequential samples (correlating with increasing day of life). (c) Average MAZ over time; z-score=0 indicates appropriate maturation; higher or lower z-scores indicate accelerated or delayed microbiota development, respectively. *** P<0.001 one-way ANOVA with Fisher's least significant difference adjusted for false-discovery rate.
