An inoculum (OD 0.005 at 660 nm) was used in each experiment. Viability relative to the 100% growth in untreated bacteria cultures was determined by measuring the OD every 30 min during 1.5 h. Data are mean values of two experiments performed in triplicate. Standard deviations were less that 6.2% in each experiment.
