FIG. 1.

Optimization of Candida biofilm growth on SE disks. (A) Effect of adhesion time on biofilm formation by C. albicans (strains M61 and GDH2346 [GDH]). XTT activity was measured at 492 nm. (B) Effect of C. albicans inoculum concentration on subsequent biofilm formation. The scheme for strain names is as follows: M61-7, C. albicans M61 at 10⁷; G-8, GDH2346 at 10⁸; and so on. Assays were performed in quadruplicate. Each result is representative of at least two experiments. All values are means and standard deviations.
