Fig. 3From: Serial cultures in invert emulsion and monophase systems for microbial community shaping and propagationAlpha diversity analysis of raw milk communities upon serial propagation using a monophasic system or an invert emulsion. (A) Mean Shannon diversity index according to the growth step. (B) Dispersion of Shannon indices from passages 2 to 10 for each milk and culture system (C) Mean coefficient of variation of Shannon diversity from passages 2 to 10. Means ± standard error of the mean followed by superscript asterisks indicate levels of statistical significance based on a one-sided Welsh’s t-test. *: P < 0.05Back to article page
