dResults are the average (± SD) of two separate antifungal susceptibility test
(Each antifungal susceptibility test was followed by a disk diffusion assay done
in quadruplicate). Ethanol was used as the negative control and miconazole as
the positive control
The percentage yield was calculated using the formula below
