Notes.

*

Value indicated the diameter of halo zone of antimicrobial activity in millimetres including well diameter of 6 mm

‘–’

indicates no zone of clearing.

Underlined enzyme indicated a loss of activity after enzymatic treatment. The values of temperature resistance were recorded after 3 hours of incubation. The numbers in the table represented the mean value (±standard deviation) of killing diameters from the measurement of three replicates. These 19 isolates showed antagonistic activities against Clostridium perfringens.
