Relative abundances of bacterial genera in the fresh, snap and frozen samples.

<p>Statistically significant differences in genera are indicated with an asterisk (*) (p<0.05). The Other category contains all other genera present at <0.01% of assignable reads at genus level. No significant differences in any of these genera between the 3 groups was found using non-parametric Kruskall-Wallis analysis, where statistical significance was accepted as p<0.05, adjusted for ties.
