Alpha diversity of each seven enrichment procedures using metagenomics tools. a The number of observed operational taxonomic units (OTUs), b Shannon diversity index, and c Faith’s phylogenetic diversity in each procedure (min to max). Significance was determined by Mann-Whitney U test. The number of OTUs, microbial abundance and evenness, and microbial richness of fecal samples significantly decreased in the enrichment process as the ratio of sample-to- enrichment broth decreased. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01
