The data are mean ± standard error (n = 3 observations). p-values were determined by one-way ANOVA with subsequent Tukey’s post hoc test. Values of treatment groups with different alphabetical letters show statistically significant difference at p < 0.05, and values with similar letters show no significance at p > 0.05. The F-value is the ratio of the mean regression sum of squares divided by the mean error sum of squares (variance within samples/variance between samples).
