aConcentration 4.0 mg/ml
bValues, including diameter of the well (8 mm), are means of three replicates
a The activities are based on the diameters of zones of inhibition in mm. One mL of stock solution (5.0 mg/mL in DMF) was applied in each hole of each paper disk.
+: < 15 mm; ++: 15-24 mm; +++: 25-34 mm; ++++: 35-44 mm, etc.
