Positive inhibition was scored if the radius of the zone of inhibition around the colonies of the isolates was 3–5.99 mm (++) or 1– 2.99 mm (+) and negative inhibition (-) was scored if the zone was 0–0.99 mm. Scores are based on three replicates. The DSM number refers to strains obtained from the DSMZ strain collection, Braunschweig, Germany.
