Presented values are means of triplicate determinations; ± indicates standard deviations from the mean. Mean values (±standard deviation) of coaggregation within the same column followed by different superscript letters differ significantly (P < 0.05). Mean values (±standard deviation) of coaggregation within the same line followed by different superscript numbers differ significantly (P < 0.05).
