Identification of influential taxonomic groups. Estimated regression coefficient curves for taxonomic groups affecting growth curves, as identified by FLAME⁶⁶ in (a) children’s gut microbiota, (b) children’s oral microbiota, (c) mothers’ oral microbiota. The zero line (dashed) corresponds to no effect. Linear Discriminant Analysis scores for taxonomic groups distinguishing children with rapid vs. non-rapid infant weight gain, as identified by LEfSe⁶⁷ in (d) children’s gut microbiota, (e) children’s oral microbiota. See Supplementary Table S8 for a list of genera belonging to each group identified by FLAME and LEfSe.
