The only predictor of the composition of the core microbiota was timepoint for the unweighted distances (PERMANOVA unweighted F 5,34 = 6.919, p -value < 0.01; Table S8 ); however, this variable was only marginally significant based on weighted Unifrac (PERMANOVA weighted F 5,34 =1.859, p -value = 0.070; Table S8 ).
