Seasonal changes in bacterial and fungal microbiota composition. Principal component plots show bacterial microbiota composition for samples collected in both years, (A) Y1 (B) and Y2 (C), and fungal microbiota for samples collected in both years, (D) Y1 (E) and Y2 (F). Each symbol in a plot represents an individual sample and the color of each sample symbol indicates the facility in which a sample was collected. The presence and absence of viable L. monocytogenes, as determined by an enrichment method, is shown in triangles and circles, respectively. Filled symbols denote samples collected in Y1 and unfilled symbols squares denote samples collected in Y2. The p-values in panels A and D were determined using a two-way PERMANOVA model that included the effect of facility (FAC), year (YEAR), and their interaction (FAC:YEAR). The p-values in panels B, C, E, and F from a two-way PERMANOVA model that included the effects of facility (FAC), presence of L. monocytogenes (LM), and their interaction (FAC:LM)
