The data given are the means of three replicates ± standard error (p ≤ 0.05). The %MIs values of EA (150 µg/mL) and PC (100 µg/mL) are expressed in percentage, and MICs values are expressed in µg/mL. Indofil Z-78 (2 mg/mL) served as a positive control. †Aflatoxin B1 producing strain and ‡Fumonisin B1 producing strain.
