a

ID, identifier.

b

D0, day 0.

c

Mean difference calculated as day 30 site value minus day 0 value calculated as the mean across the nine replicates for each individual.

d

P values obtained from one-way analysis of variance test. Boldface values show P < 0.002 (Bonferroni-corrected P value accounting for 24 pairwise comparisons).
