^a)OD was measure with a specific absorbance cuvette (10×5×45 mm).

^b)OD values higher than 0.8 were measured and calculated after the appropriate sample dilution.

^c)Number of cells was measured using Neubauer chamber.

Control (day 0) represents the culture start point for all the tested treatments. OD₅₅₀: optical density of the culture at 550 nm, DW: dry weight, PCV: packed cell volume.
