Fig. 2 — Increased UV tolerance from metagenomic library selection. (a) Survival after exposure to 2.65 W/m² of UV exposure (254 nm) for 60 s for the most successful library entries in six different insert size ranges. The < 1 kb insert did not differ significantly from the negative control (p = 0.95). The 1–3 kb insert is significantly more UV-tolerant than the negative control (p = 2.11 × 10^− 6) but significantly less UV-tolerant than the 3–6 kb insert (p = 4.25 × 10^− 5). The 3–6 kb insert is also more UV-tolerant than the > 20 kb insert (p = 0.0021). (b) The constructs showed consistent differences in survival rate across a range of UV exposures. Error bars represent standard deviation across n = 3 replicates.
