TABLE 5.
Results of ANOVA on linear mixed effects models testing the influence of independent variables on the relative abundance of bacterial ASVs (all samples combined)
| Independent variable (n = 119 samples) | No. of differentially abundant bacterial ASVs (out of 179 total ASVs)a |
|---|---|
| Population | 11 (6%) |
| Body site | 45 (25%) |
| No. of alloparents | 8 (5%) |
| Household size | 12 (7%) |
a
Models were run on ASVs with relative abundance counts of ≥500 across the whole data set. Percentages in the parentheses indicate the percentage of significantly variable ASVs out of the 179 total ASVs in the data set.
