Notes: For statistical analysis, ANOVA using a generalized linear model was used to evaluate the treatment effect associated with iron (II) selection of the 24-h growth assays performed on the ancestral, control and adapted populations, (NS = not significant). The F-ratio is computed from the selection treatment MS/error MS; concentration MS/error MS and the interaction (selection x concentration) MS/error MS [29].
