Note: Inhibition zones with the same letter showed no significant difference analyzed by SAS statistics systems. 1.5% (w/v) of apple pomace was used as the carbon source replacing starch and sucrose in SSY medium except the control. The portion of nitrogen sources was about 0.7% (w/v). The control medium was the SSY medium. The Black: without soybean powder, yeast extract, and protease peptone in SSY medium
