The bacterial genera of OTUs, which significantly differed between blemish-free and linear blemishes on Grower and Finisher skin samples. Each bubble indicates an OTU or combination of OTUs (see colour key) that significantly differed between the skin types. The size of the bubble corresponds to the average relative abundance of the OTUs in the corresponding samples. The change in abundance between the skin types is indicated along the x-axis (in log-2 fold units). All bubbles to the left of the red line (= no change) indicate a higher abundance of that OTU on the blemish-free skin while bubbles to the right indicate a higher abundance in the linear lesion. Light blue filled bubbles indicate that several OTUs of that genus were significantly different between the skin types.

Background The global crocodilian skin market is currently in oversupply. As a result, the tanneries can now be very selective about the quality of skins they purchase. The challenge to producers is to meet these quality standards. A part of this challenge is to understand the risk of pathogens to crocodile skin quality. Aims/objectives Collective...

... from the genus Dermatophilus were significantly more abundant on farmed crocodile skin compared to wild skin microflora. They were also more abundant in linear lesions (average 14.19%) in the grower pens than in grower blemish-free skin swabs (0.28%; Figure 6). Other bacteria that were more abundant in the linear lesions were from the Clostridium and Petrimonas genus. ...
