Mean \(\pm\) standard deviation, sample number N = 3; statistically different samples are marked with different letters within the same column (a, b, c, d) or row (A, B, C, D) ([PERSON]’s post hoc test at a significance level of 0.05).  
\end{table} 
Table 1: Microbial contamination of parsley leaves. All the tested samples from all four seasons were contaminated with yeasts and molds. The yeasts identified belonged to the species _Bullera alba_ and _Rlodotorula babjevae_ (respective frequencies: 27.4-54.8% and 11.3-40.2%). The dominant molds were from the strain _Cladosporium cladosporioides_ (4.4-24.2%) and genera _Alternaria_ (3.0-17.4%) and _Geotrichum_ (10%).
