Figure 3. MBC of (A) cinnamon EO, (B) Cajeput EO, (C) their combination, and (D) 0.2% CHX against Candida albicans.

Figure 3

(A) MBC of cinnamon bark EO against C. albicans. Visible growth was seen in WN 12 and WN 10.  No growth was seen in WN 8 (at the concentration of 3.906 mg/mL). This was taken as the MBC value of cinnamon EO against C. albicans. (B) MBC of Cajeput EO against C. albicans. Visible growth was seen in WN 12, WN 10, and WN 8.  No growth was seen in WN 6 (at the concentration of 15.624 mg/mL). This was taken as the MBC value of Cajeput EO against C. albicans. (C) MBC of a combination of EOs against C. albicans. Visible growth was seen in WN 12 and WN 10. No growth was seen in WN 8 (at the concentration of 3.906 mg/mL). This was taken as the MBC value of the combination of EOs against C. albicans. (D) 0.2% CHX against C. albicans. Visible growth was seen in WN 12, WN 10, and WN 8, and sparse growth was seen in WN 6. No growth was seen in WN 4. This was taken as the MBC value of 0.2% CHX against C. albicans.

WN, well number;  MBC, minimum bactericidal concentration; EO, essential oil
