Figure 1. — Within-community (alpha) diversity longitudinal analysis of healthy and burned rat skin and exposome mycobiome. (A) With the greatest variability observed in the rat exposome, the species richness estimate of healthy (unburned) skin was slightly higher than the PTB skin community. (B) Fungal species abundance was highest in the healthy rat skin when compared to the mycobiome of the burned skin and the exposome. (C) Species evenness of the healthy skin mycobiome was the highest relative to the burned skin and the exposome. (D) The healthy rat skin mycobiome harbored the most number of unique OTUs per community (richness) than the burned skin. Greatest variability was observed in the rat exposome. (E) Phylogenetic diversity of the PTB skin mycobiome was reduced compared to the healthy skin with greatest variability observed in the rat exposome mycobiome. (F) Species richness estimate generated from alpha diversity rarefactions declined over time in both healthy and PTB skin mycobiome; while healthy skin specimen showed a rise by POD 11, species richness of PTB skin continued to decline. (G) Fungal species evenness showed a pattern of decline in the PTB skin mycobiome starting at POD 3, while the healthy skin specimen showed increased evenness by POD 11. (H) PTB skin showed a decreasing pattern of species abundance that continued through POD 11.
