Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 3. Concentrations of (A) E. coli and (B) E. faecalis in SZ water within differently configured biofilters at t = 7 and 14 days’ drying (total aggregated sampling data). Uppermost and lowermost boundaries of box plots represent the first and third quartiles. Whiskers indicate the range, except for where there are outliers (>1.5 x the inter-quartile range), depicted outside whiskers. Circles (o) represent individual data values, crosses (x) denote mean values, and horizontal lines transecting plots demarcate median values.
