Abundance of OTUs within the gut microbiome is predictive of response to ionising irradiation. The Kaplan-Meier (KM) plots of time for tumours to treble in volume, whole cohorts, IR cohorts, and non-IR cohorts, based on a B. acidifaciens or b Parabacteroides genus abundance in IR and non-IR cohorts from different diet groups combined. Comparison KM plots by log-rank test in mice with high abundance (green; relative abundance > 0.1), intermediate abundance (red; 0.1 > relative abundance > 0.01), or low abundance (blue; 0.01 > relative abundance) of B. acidifaciens in all, IR, and non-IR cohorts. For Parabacteroides genus, relative abundance more than or equal to 0.01 was classified as high (blue), while less than 0.01 was classified as low (green)
