Ground beef microbiome changes with antimicrobial decontamination interventions and product storage
Fig 5
Between days of experiment, beta diversity was not different but alpha diversity did differ.
Differences between storage days on ground beef microbiomes across beef trim chemical interventions. (a) Total bacterial community differences between days, as measured by weighted Unifrac Distances, were not different (P = 0.395) but (b) alpha diversity, as measured by Faith’s phylogenic diversity, was different (P = 0.001).
