*2.6. Statistical Analysis*

All experiments were performed with at least three replicas and are presented as mean ± standard error. All graphical representations, descriptive statistics, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and multiple comparisons tests (Tukey's honestly significant difference (HSD)) were all performed in GraphPad Prism v6.01 (GraphPad Software, Inc.; 2012, San Diego, CA, USA). Residual plots were used for all model assumptions, including normality, homoscedasticity, and independence. The type I error rate was at 0.05 for all statistical tests performed.
