Retraction Note to: 3 Biotech (2020) 10:133 10.1007/s13205-020-2077-x
The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding similarities among Fig. 1b in this article, Fig. 2 in Alhakamy et al. (2019a) and Fig. 2b in Alhakamy et al. (2019b). The authors have stated that the image was used incorrectly in this article, but have been unable to provide the original data matching the reported results for validation.
The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the presented data.
Ali A. Shati, Serag Eldin I. Elbehairi and Shadab Md do not agree to this retraction. Mohammad Y. Alfaifi, Usama A. Fahmy and Nabil A. Alhakamy have not responded to any correspondence from the editor or publisher about this retraction.
