CV: Absorbance of crystal violet.
InB: Inhibition degree of biofilm formation (%) calculated according to the formula in ‘Materials and Method’ section.
InC: Inhibition degree of cell growth (%) = (Abs595,0 – Abs595,S) / Abs595,0 × 100. The calculation was similar with inhibition of biofilm formation except for switching Abs595, CV-0 to Abs595,0 and Abs595, CV-S to Abs595,S. Abs595,S was the cell growth by the extract and Abs595,0 is the cell growth without extract, 0 g/L of extract.
