Plaquing efficiency was compared to phages stored at 4°C, and data plotted are averages from three biological replicates, each with three replicates. Error bars show the standard error of the mean.

The bar to the right highlights the color designated to the V i scores, where 0 = no killing and 1 = maximum theoretical virulence. Graph ( c ) presents the average virulence index of individual phages on all tested strains, and error bars show the standard error of the mean.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Efficacy of 16 phage cocktails in improving survival and reducing C. perfringens colonization in infected larvae at doses 1 ( a and b ), 0.1 ( c and d ), and 0.01 ( e and f ). Graphs (a, c, and e) show larva survival 72 hours after infection, and blue bars highlight over 60% survival, black bars highlight below 60% survival, and the red bar shows the survival of infected larvae without phage. Boxplots (b, d, and f) show C. perfringens abundance after 72 hours. Student t -tests were used to determine statistically significant differences in C. perfringens abundance between infected larvae without phage treatment (red bars) and treatment with phage cocktails. P -values are displayed on graphs (ns > 0.05, * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, and *** P < 0.001).
