Table 1.

Asparaginase activities (μM⁻¹ mL⁻¹ min⁻¹) of the 25 fungal endophytes isolated from Leaf (L) and Stem (S) tissues of Pereskia bleo (PB), Cymbopogon citratus (CC), Oldenlandia diffusa (OD) and Murraya koenigii (MK). Mean and standard deviation are included. Means with the same letters are not significantly different as determined by Tukey’s Studentized Range Test (HSD_0.05) (Tukey grouping).
