  1. Note: Treatment codes are composed of the isolate label followed by the treatment number (e.g., AZ1T6 = Azikoro-1 isolate in treatment T6; BN3T6 = Benin-3 isolate in treatment T6; OL1T6 = Ologbo-1 isolate in treatment T6; OT1T6 = Otukpoti-1 isolate in treatment T6; T6 = MSM + rhamnolipid + isolate + crude oil).
