5 μg/mL B. aetnensis C. Presl	3.75 ± 0.6
10 μg/mL B. aetnensis C. Presl	3.81 ± 0.45
20 μg/mL B. aetnensis C. Presl	3.78 ± 0.55
Glutamate 500 μM	6.8 ± 0.9^a
Glutamate 500 μM + 5 μg/mL B. aetnensis C. Presl	5.2 ± 0.5^ab
Glutamate 500 μM + 10 μg/mL B. aetnensis C. Presl	4.6 ± 0.7^ab
Glutamate 500 μM + 20 μg/mL B. aetnensis C. Presl	4 ± 0.5^b

ROS levels are expressed as nmol of dichlorofluorescein produced 30 min/mg protein. Each value represents the mean ± SD of 5 separate experiments. ^a P < 0.05 versus control and ^b P < 0.05 versus glutamate.
