FIGURE 7

Taxa (16S) contribution to short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) biosynthesis pathways (PICRUSt2-predicted EC metagenome) affected by Cryptosporidium parvum infection in goat kid microbiomes. Chord diagrams showing the inter-relationships between taxa and SCFA pathways and these relationships compared between uninfected and infected goat kids for (A) PWY-5676 (fermentation of acetyl-CoA to butanoate II) at 5 dpi and (B) PWY-5677 (fermentation succinate to butanoate) at 15 dpi. Node segments along a circle represent taxa or the analyzed pathways in each group (infected and uninfected). The node size indicates the abundance (feature count) of contributing taxa and pathways. Arcs indicate the connections between pathways and taxa, which are represented proportionally by the size of each arc.
