Table 3: Antifungal activity of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia str. S37 and Bacillus mojavensis str. S40 toward Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici noted after 4 days of incubation at 25°C. For each column, values followed by the same letter are not significantly different according to Student Newman Keuls test at P ≤ 0.05. Values in parenthesis indicate the percentage (in %) of the mycelial growth inhibition of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici as compared to the untreated control.
