1 Values are the means ± SD (n = 3).1 – upper layer of substrate, 2 – centre of substrate.

Different lowercase letters in a column indicate significant differences between stages of cultivation; capital letters indicate significant differences between layers of the substrate for each parameter (Kruskal–Wallis test, p ≤ 0.05).
