  1. Table shows mean, and standard error (se) calculated from 10 replicates per treatment. A one-way ANOVA was performed to compare the effect of root exudates on bacteria. Tukey’s HSD test for multiple comparisons show significant differences. Different letters denote statistical significance among treatments (p-value < 0.05).
