Fig. 2From: The role of the gut microbiota on the metabolic status of obese childrenCharacterization of alpha- and beta-diversity of the gut microbiota in Con, MUO and MHO groups. The y-axes show the Shannon index (a, c) and Chao1 richness index (b, d). The x-axes show the phenotypic categories. Additional data are in Additional file 1: Table S2. Principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) plot of Con and MHO children and MUO subjects (e). The plots show the first two principal coordinates (axes) for PCoA using Bray–Curtis Distance method.
