Fig. 1From: Metagenomic analysis of isolation methods of a targeted microbe, Campylobacter jejuni, from chicken feces with high microbial contaminationA schematic diagram of the current study. All chicken fecal samples were analyzed to compare isolation methods of C. jejuni using culture-independent sequence-based metagenomics and culture-dependent tools. Metagenomic analysis was performed to investigate the effects of seven enrichment procedures. Six procedures involved enrichment processes (Bolton and Preston broth at 1:101, 1:102, and 1:103, respectively), and one procedure did not. In culture-dependent analysis, a total of 14 procedures were applied for all samples, which were combinations of different enrichment broths (without enrichment process or enriched in Bolton broth or Preston broth), ratio of sample-to-enrichment broth (1:101, 1:102, or 1:103), and selective media (mCCDA or Preston agar). aThe ratio of fecal sample-to-enrichment brothBack to article page
