Effect of storage conditions on the microbiota composition of human faecal samples. a The aggregated microbiota composition of four subjects with indicated treatment conditions—no significant differences were observed at genus level between any of the different conditions of extraction or storage after analysis by Wilcoxon signed-rank test or DESeq. b PCoA of samples, grouped by treatment conditions. No significant differences observed at OTU level when examined by PerMANOVA analysis of the Spearman distance matrix. Condition labelled L–T—as displayed above genus level bar charts in part A. c PCoA of samples, grouped by subject number. Significant differences were observed at OTU level when examined by PerMANOVA analysis of the Spearman distance matrix. p < 0.001 between all subjects
