- The lowest average percentage turbidity was exhibited by the aqueous and ethanol extracts against Trichophyton rubrum, followed by Trichophyton mentagrophytes, and finally Microsporum canis. Mc = Microsporum canis; Tm = Trichophyton mentagrophytes; and, Tr = Trichophyton rubrum. The cell entries (0-100) indicate the percentage turbidities (a measure of fungal growth of the three strains Mc, Tm and Tr), resulting from the effect of the two extracts at the corresponding dilutions. All tests were done in triplicate
