Mean densities of A: bacteria (ind mm²) and B: diatoms (ind mm²) on glass slides exposed to 330 μM and 1 mM kojic acid solutions prepared with unfiltered seawater from the Marina Bandar Rawdha (Muscat, Oman). Three glass slides were incubated in containers filled with unfiltered seawater for 7 days to allow development of biofouling. Sterile glass slides placed into unfiltered seawater without addition of kojic acid were used as a control. Bars are the means of 3 replicates + SD. Data that are significantly different from the control (ANOVA, Dunnet test: p<0.05) are indicated by an asterisk above the bars. Data are from 2 independent experiments.
