From: Temporal microbial colonization on different forages is driven by the rumen environmental conditions
Principal coordinate analysis of the forage adherent microbial community. Points with different shapes represent samples from different subjects. Samples from forages incubated in different rumen environmental conditions are represented by different colors in section A, while samples collected at different time points after incubation are represented by different colors in section B. Samples were clustered according to the rumen environmental conditions (R = 0.4688, P < 0.01). Within the four different conditions, samples collected from the same rumen environment were similar to each other, with no significant differences detected (AH-AHR vs. CS-AHR: R = 0.037, P = 0.123; AH-CSR vs. CS-AHR: R = 0.031, P = 0.146)
