Effect of linear alkylbenzene sulfonate on the uptake of microcystins by Brassica Oleracea and Solanum Tuberosum

Data sets generated from the LC-MS analysis and used to compare the levels of accumulated MCs and the total chlorophyll of the various plant treatments, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and/or the Kruskal-Wallis tests were used at 95% confidence interval (CI) using GraphPad InStat 3 (GraphPad Software, California, United States). Data which passed this test was compared using ANOVA and data which did not pass that test was compared using the Kruskal–Wallis at 95% CI. The Tukey-Kramer multiple comparisons test and the Dunn's multiple comparisons test were used as post-hoc assays for data which passed the normality tests and data which did not pass the normality test, respectively.
