"Associations between wastewater gut microbiome and community obesity r" by Jiangping Wu, Yan Chen et al.
Gut microbes are crucial for human health, which are usually accumulated in urban wastewater systems. Seven wastewater treatment plants in Australia with distinct population obesity rates between 18% and 33% were selected for wastewater sampling and analysis. Human gut microbiome were detected using metagenomic sequencing to investigate their associations with the community obesity rate. To unravel this complex relationship, a range of algorithm models, including linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe), similarity percentage analysis (SIMPER), statistical analysis of metagenomic profi...
