Description: The bray-Curtis distance matrix for beta diversity between AA and EA populations was analyzed using PERMANOVA. Comparison between AA and EA groups showed a significant difference in beta diversity (p ≤ .05). C, Genus-level differentially abundant taxa in AA and EA groups at a 10% false discovery rate were presented. The relative abundances were plotted on the square-root scale to better visualize the low abundance taxa. Streptococcus was present with an increased abundance in AA children compared to EA children, and 5 genera, butyrivibrio, capnocytophaga, fusobacterium, haemophilus, and prevotella, were abundant in EA but not in AA groups
