The effect of extracts on the degradation of microbial biofilms (percentages).

Bacteria	OD (570 nm)			CHX 0.2 (%)
	Sample 1 (%)	Sample 2 (%)	Sample 3 (%)
E. coli	11	8	10	70
S. aureus	12	9	11	70
S. mutans	8	10	10	72
S. salivarius	10	10	11	75
S. mitis	11	10	11	73
L. acidophilus	12	9	13	71
C. albicans	7	10	11	70

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).
