  1. Data are presented as mean ± S.D. The results for the normality and homogeneity are presented in Table S13. A Kruskall-Wallis test with Bonferonni multiple comparison test was performed (Tables S14 and S15). Statistical significance was set as *P < 0.05. Columns with the same superscript are not significantly different at P < 0.05. The data presented are results of three separate experiments with two technical replicates for each experiment.
