Table 4.

Slope (mean ± standard deviation, 6 replicates per treatment) of the swarming motility curves of V. parahaemolyticus Ba94C2 strain treated with three dilutions of an extract of T. suecica supernatant. For each replicate, the slopes were obtained from the linearized exponential phase of the S-shaped curve.

Treatment received by the V. parahaemolyticus strain	Slopes (mm/hour)
10−4 dilution of T. suecica supernatant extract	2.67 ± 0.15 b
10−5 dilution of T. suecica supernatant extract	2.04 ± 0.15 a
10−6 dilution of T. suecica supernatant extract	2.62 ± 0.10 b
Positive control (bacterial culture non treated with any extract)	4.02 ± 0.33 c

*Slopes indicated with different letters are significantly different at p < 0.05, based on one-way ANOVA model and Tukey's honestly significant difference post hoc test.
