Summary of the one-way ANOSIM statistical analysis (R) based on the Bray-Curtis matrix computed for DGGE band profiles of the DNA extracted with five different kits (E.Z.N.A., FastDNA, DNeasy, PowerFecal and Zymo). Significant differences (P value ≤ 0.05) are presented in bold, and they were computed upon the application of a PERMANOVA analysis.
