Impact of streamlined culturomics approach on enhancing cultured bacterial species diversity. (a) Effect of preincubation on bacterial species diversity. The statistical significance between the groups was calculated using one-way ANOVA with the Kruskal–Wallis test. (b) Percentage of total species isolated according to preincubation days. (c) Venn diagrams showing the unique and shared species isolated from initial stool samples directly and after preincubation in BCT and mGAM media, respectively. (d) Relationship between cumulative sample number and cumulative species count.
