*Indicates the species that never reached 99.99% death rate in the tested range of 0–2 mg/mL of nMgO. MPC is the most potent concentration of nMgO in the tested range of 0–2 mg/mL against each microorganism. MLC is the minimal lethal concentration that refers to MBC for bacteria and MFC for yeasts.
