Description: Identification of different genera as biomarkers by relative abundance. (A) The column length signifies the impact of distinct species in terms of relative abundance (linear discriminant analysis scores > 4). (B) The clado-gram displays the species that are markedly distinct. Each circle symbolizes the phylogenetic progression from phylum to genus, encompassing both the interior and exterior. The size of each circle is linked to the number of taxa present, and the biomarker is in agreement with the group indicated by the color.
