The diversity in gut microbiota of healthy individuals and patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFL) or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). (A) Observed species numbers in the three groups. (B) β-diversity changes in gut microbiota across groups by the partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), which presented changes between samples collected from the control (non-NAFLD), NAFL, and NASH groups. Each node represents each sample. Control (non-NAFLD), NAFL, and NASH subjects are colored in blue, orange, and green, respectively. (C) Heat map of the top 35 genera among groups.
