Table II. Antimicrobial effects of EFN.

Inhibitory effects of EFNs from myrmecophyte species (A. cornigera, A. hindsii, and A. collinsii) and from nonmyrmecophyte species (A. farnesiana and P. juliflora) on six species of phytopathogens are represented as the percentage of the line from the center of the microbial colony toward the nectar droplet that was not occupied by the microorganism. Sugar solutions were used as a control. Values are means ± se of three biological replicates.
