LEfse analysis identified gut bacterial biomarkers of diet. a The histogram of the LDA scores presents species (biomarker) whose abundance showed significant differences between Indian and Chinese adults. The length of each bin, namely, the LDA score, represents the effect size i.e. the extent to which a biomarker can explain the differentiating phenotypes between groups. b In cladogram, circles radiating from inner side to outer side represents taxonomic level from phylum to genus (species). Each circle’s diameter is proportional to the taxon’s relative abundance. Red nodes refer to the bacteria contributed a lot in Chinese adults, green nodes refer to the bacteria dominant in Indians
