Differentially abundant taxa in the rumen of sheep feed different diets, based on LefSe analysis. a. Microbes, with significant abundance differences between the two sheep group, that have an LDA score greater than the estimated value. The length of the bar represents the log₁₀ transformed LDA score. Green bars represent the taxa that were that were found to be more abundant in the LFHP, whereas red bars represent those that were more abundant in the HFLP group. b. Cladogram showing the microbial species with significant abundance differences between the two groups. Red and green shadows indicate different groups, with taxa classification at the level of phylum, class, order, family, and genus shown from the inside to the outside. The red and green nodes in the phylogenetic tree represent microbial species that play an important role in each of the two groups. Yellow nodes represent species with no significant difference
