Proportional abundance of microbial taxa

(A) Mean proportional abundance of the eight most prevalent phyla and 25 most prevalent families in tissue samples for healthy control patients (n=16), patients with Barrett's oesophagus (n=17), and patients with oesophageal adenocarcinoma (n=15). Significant differences were calculated with linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe), and error bars are standard error of the mean. (B) Mean proportional abundance of representative genera from significantly enriched families identified in (A). Only genera with overall proportional abundances greater than 0·1% are included and error bars are standard error of the mean. *p<0·05. †p<0·01. ‡p<0·001.
