Table 3 Count of aerobic heterotrophic bacteria from soil of sampling sites

From: Physicochemical and molecular characterization of heavy metal–tolerant bacteria isolated from soil of mining sites in Nigeria

Soil identity	Mean count (cfu/g)
1	2.3 × 10⁶ ± 1.2^b
2	4.5 × 10⁶ ± 1.7^b
3	4.0 × 10⁴ ± 0.8^a
4	3.3 × 10⁴ ± 1.3^a
5 (control soil)	3.1 × 10⁷ ± 0.6^c

^a,b,cValues with common superscript in the same column do not differ (p≤0.05)
