Growth inhibition percentages obtained for Aspergillus carbonarius MUM 05.18 with the crude rhamnolipid mixture produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa #112. The assays were performed at different concentrations of the crude rhamnolipid mixture in the presence of different NaCl concentrations, at 25 °C for 5 days. The results represent the average of three independent experiments ± standard deviation. [RL]: concentration of crude rhamnolipid mixture. NT: not tested.
