Agar well diffusion of Lactobacillus paracasei supernatant against Salmonella Typhimurium in the presence and absence of rice bran extract
| Treatment | Zone of Inhibition (mm)a |
|---|---|
| Normal saline (negative control) | 8·00 ± 0·00 |
| Vehicle control | 8·93 ± 0·468 |
| Vehicle control+RBE | 9·43 ± 0·517 |
| LP | 10·86 ± 0·261 |
| LP+RBE | 12·07 ± 0·277 |

Inhibitory zone diameters (millimetres) against S. Typhimurium were determined for supernatants and control media. Results are reported as (mean ± standard error) and were collected from seven independently measured plates. Measurements were analysed using a one‐way anova, and pairs of treatments were compared using a Tukey post‐test, where statistical significance was determined as P < 0·05. LP+RBE had a significantly larger zone of inhibition compared to all other treatments: Normal saline (P < 0·0001), vehicle control (P < 0·0001), vehicle control+ RBE (P < 0·0001), LP (P < 0·05).
