All values expressed as mean ± standard error of mean. Different superscript letters on the same row indicates significance difference (p<0.05) in mean values among different treatment periods. Different superscript numerals in the same column indicates significance difference (p<0.05) in mean values of extract. BI: Before Inoculation; AI: After Inoculation; AT: After Treatment.
