Fig. 4: Comparison of bacterial taxa at family level, in water samples exposed to UV, with and without storage.
From: Impact of UV irradiation at full scale on bacterial communities in drinking water
Relative abundance of bacterial taxa in water samples exposed to UV, and then stored for 6 days at 7 °C (red), or not stored (gold), were compared. Only families with significant difference in relative abundance between groups (P < 0.05, one-way ANOVA) are shown, see Supplementary Figs 11–15 for full data set. Families are ordered with the most relative change in the top left with subsequent decrease. The boxes show the interquartile range, the line inside each box represents the median, whiskers show maximum and minimum values, and the crosses show outliers. n = 9 for water samples exposed to UV and n = 9 for water exposed to UV and incubated. Samples irradiated at different UV doses were grouped for this analysis.
