ML kit produced significantly higher proportions of microbial reads. (a) Host and microbial reads of bovine (BM) and human (HM) milk samples processed using three different methods; MolYsis complete5 kit (ML), NEBNext Microbiome Enrichment kit (NEB) and QIAGEN DNeasy PowerSoil Pro kit (PS). (b) Comparison of the mean microbial reads of all samples within one extraction method to another. Asterisk denotes significant differences of p value < 0.05 as determined using Student’s t test. Figures were produced using R48.
