Differentially abundant ASVs were identified using normalized ASV abundance data from both full-length and V3–V4 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing of root microbiomes. Statistical comparisons were performe
The larynx is a mucosal organ situated between the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. Little is known about microbial contributions to laryngeal epithelial health and pathogenesis. Developing a
1Taxa with significant differences between CON and other treatments (adjusted P < 0.05). 2Treatments with higher or lower abundance compared to CON. (XLSX)
We characterized the laryngeal microbiota of smokers and nonsmokers with and without documented reflux, by sequencing 16S rRNA genes using high-throughput next-generation 454-base pyrosequencing techn
