a
ME, methanol extract; EO, essential oil; EO values are in μL/mL; MIC, minimum inhibitory concentration; MBC, minimum bactericidal concentration; MFC, minimum fungicidal concentration; MBC/MIC, tolerance values for bacteria; MFC/MIC, tolerance values for fungi; MBIC, minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration (MBIC). The values are from three independent experiments (P < 0.05).
