In the same column, values with the same small or no letter superscripts mean no significant difference (P > 0.05), while with adjacent small letter superscripts mean significant difference (P < 0.05), and with alternate small letter superscripts mean significant difference (P < 0.01).

Abbreviations: BS, Bacillus subtilis; GSH-Px, glutathione peroxidase; MDA, malondialdehyde; T-AOC, total antioxidant capacity; T-SOD, total superoxide dismutases.
