|Associations of Microbe–Intestine Interactions With Obesity indicators. A We correlated the key genes associated with fat deposition with differentially abundant microbiota and calculated the correlation coefficient (Spearman's coefficient). The heatmap's color indicates the degree of correlation.*:p < 0.05, **:p < 0.01, ***:p < 0.001 B Differential genes associated to Bacteroides plebeius species with significant differences in the colonic region were enriched for KEGG pathways of high relevance to them. Functional entries were found to focus on intercellular communication functions. C Types and proportions of carbohydrases encoded by the Bacteroides plebeius genome. D The functions of the enzymes of interest were investigated. The results showed that the bacterium had the highest number of genes encoding GH2, GH20, GT4 and GT2
