From: Application of 3-nitrooxypropanol and canola oil to mitigate enteric methane emissions of beef cattle results in distinctly different effects on the rumen microbial community

Fig. 1

Impact of methane inhibitors on the bacterial and archaeal community in rumen digesta and rumen fluid from cattle fed a control diet (CON, red), a control diet supplemented with canola oil (OIL, green), 3-NOP (3-NOP, blue), or a combination of 3-NOP and canola oil (3-NOP + OIL, orange). Principle components plots are based on UniFrac distances and colored to show the impacts of time and treatment on microbiome composition. A weighted UniFrac plot of rumen fluid samples, B unweighted UniFrac plot of rumen fluid, C weighted UniFrac plot of rumen digesta, D unweighted UniFrac plot of rumen digesta. Samples taken prior to feeding are shown as circles, samples taken 6 h after feeding are shown as squares, samples taken 12 h after feeding are shown as triangles
