Feasibility of collection and analysis of microbiome data in a longitudinal randomized trial of community gardening. Future Microbiol. 2020 May;5(8):633-648. DOI: 10.2217/fmb-2019-01951746-0913http://hdl.handle.net/10230/47179Aim: We explored the feasibility of collecting and analyzing human microbiome data in a longitudinal randomized controlled trial of community gardening. Methods & materials: Participants were randomly assigned to gardening (N = 8) or control (N = 8). Participants provided stool, mouth, hand and forehead microbiome samples at six timepoints. Analyses combined mixed models with Qiita output. Results: Participant satisfaction was high, with 75% of participants completing evaluations. While no microbial effects were statistically significant due to small sample size, the analysis pipeline utility was tested. Conclusion: Longitudinal collection and analysis of microbiome data in a community gardening randomized controlled trial is feasible. The analysis pipeline will be useful in larger studies for assessment of the pathway between microbiota, gardening and health outcomes.application/pdfeng© Future Medicine. https://dx.doi.org/10.2217/fmb-2019-0195JardineriaMicrobiologia -- Aspectes ambientalsSalut públicainfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.2217/fmb-2019-0195info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
