Table 2.
Antifungal activity of twenty cell-free supernatants (CFS) against Penicillium, Aspergillus, Fusarium, and Alternaria species by the diffusion agar method. The antifungal activity was expressed as follows: (+) means 8 mm of inhibition zone between the well and fungal growth, (++) means 8–10 mm of inhibition zone between the well and fungal growth, (+++) means > 10 mm of inhibition zone between the well and fungal growth. The well radius was 5 mm.
