Detailed test results for statistically significant effects of simulated climate change, and/or microorganism exposure are shown in Tables 2 and 3. F-values are given with degrees of freedom in subscript. Significant values (P < 0.05) are highlighted in bold. AEC, adenylate energy change. TAN, total adenylate nucleotides.
