Effects of seaweed amendments on composition of in-vitro rumen microbiome. a Genus-level β-diversity between pairs of vessels throughout the duration of the experiment. b β-diversity across multiple taxonomic groups measured between pairs of samples versus sampling time for each of the 6 vessels. 95% bootstrap confidence intervals are shown. Regression slopes identified as significant (p < 0.001) by a permutation test are indicated with an asterisk. c Genus-level β-diversity within individual vessels across different sampling times
