  1. The seven experiments (Exp) performed. Strains: VR66-07 and R86-47. Treatment: single jet (SJ) or multiple jets (MJ). No significant difference in cell abundances between strains (X2(1) = 0.54, p = 0.46) nor treatments (X2(1) = 1.54, p = 0.21) nor strains and treatments (Dunn test p > 0.47). Pairwise significant differences between experiments, between Exp1–4 and Exp5–7 (Dunn test p < 0.03, marginally significant for Exp1 vs Exp7 p = 0.06).
