Species diversity following incubation under six different storage conditions

. The extent of microbiota structural and composition diversities were measured using (A) Taxa S (species richness), (B) Shannon-Weiner diversity index, (C) Simpson’s evenness index. Each point represents the diversity score for a replicate from collection 1 (●), collection 2 (▲) or collection 3 (■). Error bars represent SEM. Within-group and between-group variations were measured using Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA and Mann-Whitney U-test, respectively. Significant variance is indicated by asterisks; single asterisk (*) indicates p ≤ 0.05, double asterisk (**) represents p ≤ 0.01.
