Influence of Culture Media on Biofilm Formation by Candida Species and Response of Sessile Cells to Antifungals and Oxidative Stress

Figure 2

Temporal dynamics of sessile cells at 12, 24, and 48 h. The viability of the four Candida species was evaluated by measuring the amount of sessile cells with XTT in six nutritional environments. The temporal dynamics of the amount of cells was evaluated at eight consecutive time points (0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, and 105 min) after time lapses of 12, 24, and 48 h. The nutritional environments were YP, YPD/0.2%, YPD/2%, YNB, YNB/0.2%, and YNB/2%. Plots show the mean value at each time point (mean of 3 assays) of XTT reduction.
