Protein-rich foods are associated with decreased microbial diversity in the AGP. For each AGP sample, the Abundance-covered Coverage Estimator (ACE) metric of microbial alpha diversity was computed using the scikit-bio Python package (https://github.com/biocore/scikit-bio), and the resulting vector compared to each dietary metadata variable using Spearman’s correlation. A high or low rho indicates a respective increase or decrease in microbial diversity is associated with increased frequency of consumption of this type of food within the AGP
