Notes.

a

Genus identification from Table 2 of Wang et al. (2012). Based on comments in Wang et al. (2012), Bacteroides is represented here by two species (B. vulgatus and B. uniformis) in healthy patients, and one species (B. fragilis) in CRC patients.

b

Genus-level definition of co-abundance groups from Candela et al. (2014).

c

Wang et al. (2012); species closely related to 16S rRNA-derived operational taxonomic units (OTUs; Fig. 2 of Wang et al., 2012) or otherwise mentioned by those authors (E. faecalis).

o

cf. Chen et al. (2012) and Candela et al. (2014) (more abundant in CRC patients); Weir et al. (2013) (more abundant in healthy subjects).
