Box Plot from Scientific Research

Lawn kill assay results of E. coli are shown as boxplots, whiskers indicate maximum and minimum values, box bounds indicate 25th and 75th percentile, with center line indicating the median; b1813 with phages WT 15 and CAP 15.2. Significances * P < 0.05 and *** P < 0.001, P values (two-sided Mann–Whitney U test) were calculated from two independent biological duplicates comprised of ten replicates. Holm’s method adjusted P values are 1.6 x 10 -7. Distribution of 10 EoP profiles of survivor colonies purified from WT 15 lawn kill assay (insets). Resistant, no plaque formation with tested phage; sensitive, EoP similar to that of parental strain; reduced, EoP (>1–2 log 10 ) lower than that of the parental strain.
