Metabolic activities (XTT analysis) and dry weights of C. albicans biofilms formed under no-flow and shear conditions during adhesion phase (90 min), early phase (6 h), and intermediate/mature phase (24 h) of biofilm development

Time	XTT OD			Dry weight (mg)
	No flow	Shear	P-value	No flow	Shear	P-value
90 min	0.040 ± 0.018	0.003 ± 0.002	0.007	0.164 ± 0.159	0.000 ± 0.000	0.114
6 h	0.153 ± 0.020	0.110 ± 0.064	0.087	0.870 ± 0.257	0.228 ± 0.193	0.003
24 h	0.182 ± 0.041	0.198 ± 0.046	0.521	3.364 ± 1.286	2.750 ± 0.957	0.404

Values for XTT analysis represent mean absorbance at 492 nm ± SD (standard deviation; n = at least 3); values for dry weight (DW) represent mean dry weight ± standard deviation (n = at least 3).

^*P-value was determined by comparing data between no flow and shear stress conditions at each time point, and values <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
