The Anticandidal and Toxicity Properties of Lampranthus francisci

Figure 4

The effect of fresh and dry L. francisci ethanol extracts on the growth of Candida albicans and Candida krusei. Growth of the treated cells was compared to the growth of the untreated cells. Inhibition of C. albicans growth was seen at low concentrations of the fresh extract, while the dry extract as only effective at higher concentrations. The percentage reductions in growth at the 1 mg/mL are shown for both extracts. The fresh extract reduced the growth of C. krusei, while the dry extract encouraged the growth of C. krusei. The growth of C. krusei was reduced by 51.1% when treated with 1 mg/mL of the fresh extract but increased by 64.1% when treated with the dry extract at the same concentration. ; . .
