Fig. 5. Linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) comparing differences in abundant genera on Chinese chives infected with EHEC according to washing process at 12 h storage.

Shifts in abundant genera in (A) unwashed (red) and (B) washed Chinese (green) chives. After 12 h of storage compared to 0 h, the bacteria with statistically significant change (LDA score ≥ 2, p < 0.05) in the relative abundance is shown alongside the horizontal lines.
