highly significantp = 9.70 × 10 −7
A one-sided student T comparison of log-converted molar N/P ratios showed highly significant differences (p = 9.70 × 10 −7 ) between bacteria (geometric mean = 21.0, median = 23.3 mol N / mol P) and viruses (geometric mean = 9.25, median = 9.45 mol N / mol P), respectively.
