| NJ | 6.07 ± 0.11a | 931.21 ± 25.57f | 26.57 ± 1.09d | 114.71 ± 5.90a | 2143.54 ± 51.53e |
| XB | 5.40 ± 0.05d | 1413.33 ± 38.60c | 42.05 ± 0.50ab | 65.28 ± 5.04c | 2847.69 ± 72.78a |

Note: HB, NB, HJ, NJ, XJ and XB were described in Fig. 1. Values represent means followed by a standard error. Each experiment was repeated for three times. The letter in the column represents a significant difference (Tukey HSD test, p < 0.05)
