Table 5.
Summary table of anovas for entero-cocci enumerated with defined substrate. The experiment is given in the first column and factors in the second. F statistic (F), degrees of freedom (d.f.) and P-values are given for each sand. The error term is omitted for simplicity. In the case of the last experiment (effect of mass/shaking duration/type) where a three-way anova was used, ‘n/a’ indicates that factor was not relevant for the model.
