Decrease in the genotoxicity of chlorpyrifos, coumaphos, and imidacloprid after 24 h incubation with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains expressed as the mean percentage of DNA in the comet tail in the alkaline comet assay. Fifty cells were analyzed for each treatment. Results are presented as mean ± standard error of the mean (S.E.M.). Statistical significance was calculated versus positive control (appropriate pesticide standard), * p ≤ 0.1, ** p ≤ 0.05, *** p ≤ 0.01.
