Synergism Effect of the Essential Oil from Ocimum basilicum var. Maria Bonita and Its Major Components with Fluconazole and Its Influence on Ergosterol Biosynthesis

Figure 3

Effect of O. basilicum EO, geraniol, and linalool standards on the mitochondrial reducing activity (MRA) of biofilms formed by C. albicans sensitive (a, c, e) and C. albicans fluconazole resistant (b, d, and f) treated with one- and twofold MIC concentrations. The results represent the mean ± standard error of two independent experiments in triplicate. Values over the bars refer to the percentage of inhibition of biofilm viability.
