Mean ± SD.

^a–b

Significantly different means within a row are indicated by different superscript letters (P ≤ 0.05).

^x–y

Significantly different means within a column are indicated by different superscript letters (P ≤ 0.05).

Each mean represents 3 replicate experiments per treatment with 2 samples per replicate.
