Figure 1. Alpha diversity measured by (A) Chao1, (B) Phylogenetic diversity, (C) Observed species, (D) Shannon and (E) Simpson indices is plotted for baseline inocula, no-pathogen (N), pathogen (P), 24-hour glucose no-pathogen (GN), 24-hour glucose pathogen (GP), 24-hour yeast β-glucan no-pathogen (YN), 24-hour yeast β-glucan pathogen (YP). The line inside the box represents the median, the boxes represent the interquartile range, and the whiskers represent the range. P values were calculated from the Kruskal-Wallis test; P1 when comparing inocula and 24-hour fermentation groups; P2 when comparing within fermentation groups.
