Processing area type modulates bacterial and fungal community structure. Mean relative abundance of bacteria (A) and fungal species (B) across surfaces classified by equipment type. Jackknifed weighted UniFrac distance PCoA of bacterial communities (C) and jackknifed Canberra distance PCoA of fungal communities (D) on surfaces classified by equipment type. P values indicate Bonferroni-corrected P values for permutational MANOVA significance between surface types. Milk, milk-handling surfaces; Curd, curd processing; Mixed, mixed-use facility (facility B); Brine, brining surfaces; Bloomy, bloomy-rind aging space; Wash, washed-rind aging space; Pack, packaging area surfaces (Fig. 1).
