Disk diffusion susceptibility testing of PNT activities against Fusarium spp. under different oxygen conditions

Fusarium sp. (no. of isolates) GMa ± SD of the radii (mm) of the zones of inhibition caused by PNTb
Aerobic conditions Microaerophilic conditions Anaerobic conditions
All Fusarium spp. (10) 10.267 ± 3.829c 17.283 ± 3.695 20.783 ± 5.168c
F. solani (5) 5.867 ± 2.694d,e 13.2 ± 3.532 16.6 ± 3.227e
Non-F. solani (5) 14.66 ± 1.65d,f 21.367 ± 2.162 24.967 ± 2.434f
a

GM, geometric mean.

b

Each disk contained 8.3 μl of PNT (from a stock solution of 60 mg/ml).

c

P < 0.05 for the radii of the zones of growth inhibition caused by PNT against all Fusarium spp. tested under aerobic conditions versus those under anaerobic conditions.

d

P < 0.05 for the radii of the zones of growth inhibition caused by PNT against F. solani isolates versus non-F. solani Fusarium isolates in room air.

e

P < 0.05 for the radii of the zones of growth inhibition caused by PNT against F. solani isolates under aerobic conditions versus those under anaerobic conditions.

f

P < 0.05 for the radii of the zones of growth inhibition caused by PNT against non-F. solani Fusarium isolates under aerobic conditions versus those under anaerobic conditions.
