All the presented values are means of three replicates. Means were subjected to analysis of variance and were separated by LSD test. Letters represent the significant difference among the mean values and ± are standard error values of the means.
AP ammonia production, HCP hydrogen cyanide production, CT catalase test, KT KOH test.
