3.5 Associations between levels of dietary intakes and the gut
microbial abundance
ANCOM was used to analyze associations between gut microbiome abundance
and levels of nutritional intake. At the phylum level, children with
adequate fiber showed a higher abundance of Cyanobacteria(W = 8). At the genus level, children with excessive total
calories intake had a higher abundance of Catenibacterium(W = 32). Children with inadequate fat intake based on calories
percentage had higher abundances in family S24-7 (W = 26)
and in genus Megasphaera (W = 9) while children with
adequate fat intake had higher abundances in bacterial familyErysipelotrichaceae and Peptostreptococcaceae . Children
with adequate fiber intake had a higher abundance of bacterial orderYS2 (W = 99).
