Results are presented as the mean of the inhibition zone (mm) followed by SD. The values with different subscript letters in the same column and those with different subscript letters in the same row are significantly different according to ANOVA and Duncan’s multiple range tests. YF: yeast form. FF: filamentous form. % of dimorphism = FF – YF/FF × 100.
