  1. The values are expressed as means ± SDs for three replicate experiments. Mean values with different letters within a column are significantly different by the Tukey test at (p < 0.05). This test classifies the groups into letters. Groups that have little significant difference have similar letters and those with more significant difference receive different letters.
