| 1/20 × CF | 3.40 ± 0.55 bc | 3.00 ± 0.00 bc |
| 1 × BS | 2.40 ± 0.89 c | 2.40 ± 0.55 c |
| 1/4 × BS | 3.00 ± 0.71 bc | 3.30 ± 0.71 bc |

CK, water was used as control group. CF, culture filtrates of KM2501-1. BS, bacterial suspensions of KM2501-1. The data in experiment 1 and 2 are shown as the mean ± SD (n = 5). Duncan’s multiple range test was employed to test for significant differences between treatments at P < 0.05. Different lowercase letters indicate significant difference between treatments (P < 0.05).
