Shotgun taxonomic profiles from two ELBW infants with/without supplementation and a term infant. Radial taxonomic tree displaying shotgun community profiles from faecal samples of an ELBW infant with no supplementation (AP8C, represented in green) an ELBW infant with supplementation (P29F, represented in yellow) and a term baby (V3Â J, represented in blue). Relative abundance was indicated according to the length of the coloured bars in the figure. The centre of the radial tree indicates phylum level, and the subsequent concentric layers of the radial tree indicate class, order, family, and genus and species level. Term baby (V3Â J) and ELBW infant with supplementation (P29F) samples presented a higher abundance of Bifidobacterium when compared to an ELBW infant with no supplementation (AP8C)
