Taxa differentially abundant between weight loss success groups. ASV-clusters found differentially abundant when comparing subjects that were VS compared to US at 12-month weight loss on the low-carb diet. ASV-clusters were normalized and inverse-hyperbolic-sine-transformed for variance stabilization prior to analysis; the normalized, transformed values are shown on the y-axis. ASV-clusters have a median 96.8% sequence similarity (a taxonomic description can be found in Table 2). No taxa were found differentially abundant on the low-fat diet. Grey points represent individual samples and triangles represent the mean value for each subject. Triangle color represents the average log2-fold change (logFC) between subjects in the US vs VS groups; positive values indicate higher counts in VS subjects and negative values indicate higher counts in US subjects.
