Impact of the inoculation method on the isolated bacterial richness. Violin plots of the isolated species richness of anaerobic Bacillota (a), Pseudomonadota (b), Actinomycetota (c) and Bacteroidota (d). The species richness of the 4 phyla that were isolated with the direct inoculation method (blue) was compared to the serial dilution method (red). The individual values per sample are displayed as dots and the values are paired by lines. The direct inoculation method resulted in a higher isolated species richness of anaerobic Bacillota and Pseudomonadota and the isolated species richness of Actinomycetota was significantly higher with serial dilution. The difference between the 2 inoculation methods was not significant for Bacteroidota species. The paired t-test was performed to calculate significance and adjusted p-values ≤ 0.05 (Bonferroni correction) were considered significant.
