The antifungal activity of Lc AZ78 was assessed through dual-culture assay. Mean and standard errors values of mycelial growth diameters (cm) with six replicates (Petri dishes) pooled from two experiments are reported for each fungus.

^*Values followed by asterisks differ significantly according to Student's t-test (α = 005).
