“…Bacteria was the most abundant superkingdom in the human gut microbiome; we found that it represented 96-99% of the microbiome, consistent with previous studies (Kolmeder et al, 2016; Tanca et al, 2017). In agreement with other works (Arumugam et al, 2011; Kolmeder et al, 2012; Kolmeder et al, 2016; Tanca et al, 2017; Zhang et al, 2017; Zhong et al, 2019), the four most abundant phyla in our 6 samples were Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, and Actinobacteria (Figure 3A). The dominant phylum was Firmicutes, except in S3, where Bacteroidetes was the principal phylum.…”
