Extended Data Fig. 5. Temporal development in abundance of infant-type Bifidobacterium species, aromatic lactic acids, and human milk oligosaccharides in faeces from infants in the CIG cohort.
Scatter plots of a, age against absolute abundance of infant-type Bifidobacterium species (defined as the sum of absolute abundances of B. longum, B. breve, B. bifidum and B. scardovii) in faeces or b–d, age against faecal concentrations of aromatic lactic acids (ILA, PLA and 4-OH-PLA, n = 240) or e-g, age against relative faecal abundance of human milk oligosaccharides (2′FL/3FL, LNT/LNnT and 3′SL/6′SL, n = 228) during the first 6 months of life in the CIG cohort. A local polynomial regression (LOESS) fit is shown with coloured mean line and 95% CI shaded in grey. Statistical significance was evaluated by two-sided repeated measures correlations (rrm is the repeated measures correlation coefficient).
