Table 4

The effect of sea salts on the biofilm formation of microbial biofilms (percentages).

Bacteria	OD (570 nm)			CHX 0.2 (%)
	Sample 1 (%)	Sample 2 (%)	Sample 3 (%)
E. coli	85	90	85	20
S. aureus	85	90	85	22
S. mutans	90	85	80	20
S. salivarius	90	90	85	25
S. mitis	85	90	85	25
L. acidophilus	85	90	80	20
C. albicans	85	85	80	22

All samples were tested three times in independent experiments. The difference was significant between the samples and control (CHX 0.2%) (). Results show the insignificant difference between samples. Urmia (sample 1), Qom (sample 2), and Jarquyeh (sample 3).
