  1. * p values are based on the one-way Anova test. Bold numbers represent the statistically signifi-cant difference (p < .05). C: Calcium, O: Oxygen, Al: Aluminum, Si: Silicon, Cl: Chlorine, Ba: Barium. The different lowercase letters represent the statistical difference between the groups on the same line. Control Group: no sterilization, Group 1: one sterilization, Group 2: four sterilizations with an interval of a day
