All values are mean±SD of three replicates.
Means within a row with different letters are significantly different by salt concentration of broth (p<0.05).
Means within a column are significant different between NP and PH with same salt concentration (^* p<0.05, ^** p<0.01, ^*** p<0.001).
Control, boiled with broth of 0.0% salt concentration; 0.5%, boiled with broth of 0.5% salt concentration; 1.0%, boiled with broth of 1.0% salt concentration; 1.5%, boiled with broth of 1.5% salt concentration; 2.0%, boiled with broth of 2.0% salt concentration; 2.5%, boiled with broth of 2.5% salt concentration; 3.0%, boiled with broth of 3.0% salt concentration.
NP, phosphate free; PH, 0.2% phosphate added.
