Distinct gut microbiomes in Thai patients with colorectal polyps

Figure 5 Microbial interaction network of the gut microbiome. A: Co-occurrence networks were constructed at the species level using abundance data from the control (CT) group; B: Co-occurrence networks were constructed at the species level using abundance data from hyperplastic polyps (HP); C: Co-occurrence networks were constructed at the species level using abundance data from tubular adenoma (TA) group. The figure shows that all nodes had more than five connections. Each node in the network represents a single microbial species. The color of each node corresponds to its degree (i.e. number of connections with other nodes). Nodes are represented as follows, according to their degree: > 20, red; 16-19, orange; 10-15, yellow; and 6-9, pink. Edges between nodes represent correlations between those nodes; blue indicates a positive correlation, whereas red indicates a negative correlation.
