The sentences
At the genus level, the MUC variant score exhibited specific positive correlations with mucin-utilizing or mucus-resident genera (e.g., Bifidobacterium, Streptococcus, and certain [Eubacterium] groups ), while showing a negative trend with butyrate-producing, barrier-maintaining bacteria (e.g., Faecalibacterium and specific Lachnospiraceae subgroups) ( Figure 5E ).
Concurrently, the TD group also showed a trend towards higher Simpson, ACE, and Chao1 indices.
However, Bifidobacterium abundance was paradoxically increased, and Prevotella also exhibited an increasing trend ( Figures 3C , D , I ).
