tistical analysis
All analyses were conducted in triplicate and data reported as the mean±SD. Statistical analyses
were performed according to Steel and Torrie [14] using one-way analysis of variance, ANOVA (SPSS
v.11) with a 5 % level of probability (p < 0.05) selected in advance to sufficiently demonstrate a
statistically significant difference. Where significant differences were observed, treatment means were
differentiated using pairwise multiple comparison procedures (Duncan’s new multiple range test).
