The Anticandidal and Toxicity Properties of Lampranthus francisci

Figure 5

The effects of the fresh and dry L. francisci hydroethanolic extracts on the growth of Candida albicans and Candida krusei. Against C. albicans, a significant decrease in growth was observed at all tested concentrations of both extracts compared to the untreated cells. At 1 mg/mL, the fresh extract inhibited growth by 63.4% while the dry extract inhibited growth by 57%. The fresh extract had no effect on the growth of C. krusei, while the dry extract was only effective at high concentrations. The dry extract reduced the growth of C. krusei by 26.8% at 1 mg/mL compared to the untreated cells. ; . .
