FIG 5.

Correlations between bacterial and fungal communities. (a) Correlation of bacterial and fungal community Shannon diversity indexes in each body site. The samples are differently shaped for each body site and colored by age groups labeled by C (centenarian), E (elderly), and Y (young). (b) Correlation of fungal and bacterial Bray-Curtis dissimilarity pairwise comparisons at the genus level within each body site. The adjusted (adj) R² of the linear regression analysis and Pearson correlation coefficient (r) are provided for each plot. All P values in panel b are <0.0001. L, left palm; R, right palm; F, forehead; U, umbilicus; O, oral cavity; G, gut.
