Ability of five selected candidate BCAs to form biofilms.

Isolates	Optical Density (OD)
Bacillus amyloliquefaciens S15	0.20 ± 0.35 c
B. subtilis S57	0.26 ± 0.39 c
B. pumilus S67	0.29 ± 0.00 c
Candida oleophila L12	0.91 ± 0.28 a
Debaryomyces hansenii L16	0.75 ± 0.24 b

Note: OD values are directly correlated with the capacity of yeast and bacterial cells to adhere to the polystyrene dishes. Different letters indicate significantly different values according to Duncan’s multiple range test (p < 0.05).
