Fig. 1: Microbial diversity of raw and conventional food samples based on 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing data.
From: Analysis of the microbiota of raw commercial feline diets to prioritize food safety investigations
A Relative abundance of the 15 most abundant bacterial genera between conventional and raw food samples at the genus level. B Relative abundance as in (A), summarized by food processing method. All other genera were grouped under the Other category. C–E Comparison of alpha diversity indexes in conventional (n = 27) and raw (n = 84) food samples. C Shannon Diversity index (p = 0.00000077, Wilcoxon rank sum test; effect size large, 0.510). D Faith’s Phylogenetic Diversity index (p = 0.00000316, Wilcoxon rank sum test; effect size moderate, 0.481). E Pielou Evenness index (p = 0.000216, Wilcoxon rank sum test; effect size moderate, 0.384). (****p < 0.0001; ***p < 0.001). All boxplots display 1st quartile (Q1) to 3rd quartile (Q3) with median (Q2) as the black horizontal line.
