  1. Data expressed as Mean ± S. E Mean. Different letters (a, b & c) in the same column denote a significant different between groups, according to DMRTs, at p ≤ 0.05. *** = p ≤ 0.01 NS = non-Significant
  2. Normal, Control treated with distilled water for experiment adjustment; Negative Control, control treated with ethyl acetate solvent for experiment adjustment; ES2 Metabolite, the most potent actinobacterial crude metabolite produced by Streptomyces sp. ES2 strain; F-ratio, Frequency ratio
  3. All biochemical measurements were performed in triplicates
