  1. *Zone of inhibition including the diameter of disc (5 mm). In each disc, the sample size was 100 μg per disc (5 μl) in disc diffusion assay. --: no activity. Means difference is highly significant*** slightly significant**, and significant* at p < 0.05. Values are presented as mean ± standard error from triplicate investigation
