|---|---|---|---|---|
| MG | HL | PSGs | Saliva | |
| MEAM1 | 98.3 ± 0.02a | 94.9 ± 0.03a | 81.4 ± 0.05a | 53.3 ± 0.07a |

For each of the three organs and saliva for each of the two species, 60 samples were collected in total, and three replicates were conducted. Data in the same column that are followed by different letters are significantly different (P < 0.05).
