(b) Rarefaction analysis of species richness. Species diversity and richness was significantly higher (with <i>p</i><0.001) in the high-protein low-carbohydrate (HPLC) microbiome compared to the moderate-protein moderate-carbohydrate (MPMC) microbiome.</p> 2014-07-10 02:59:34 agriculture Animal management ecology biodiversity Ecological metrics microbiology Microbial physiology Microbial metabolism Veterinary science Animal types Small animals Veterinary microbiology richness feline fecal microbiomes
