E. coli = Escherichia coli; P. putida = Pseudomonas putida; B. subtilis = Bacillus subtilis; S. lactis = Streptococcus lactis; A. niger = Aspergillus niger; P. sp. = Penicillium sp; C. albicans = Candida albicans. The sensitivity of microorganisms to the tested compounds is identified in the following manner *: Highly sensitive = Inhibition zone 15-20 mm; Moderately sensitive = Inhibition zone: 10-15 mm; Slightly sensitive = Inhibition zone: 5-10 mm; Not sensitive = Inhibition zone: 0 mm;* Each result represents the average of triplicate readings.
