Effects of the PSE on the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) in C. albicans cells. Cells were treated with or without the extract for 24 h. After incubation, cells were stained with Rhodamine 123 (20 µM/L) for 30 min at 37 °C and analyzed by fluorescence. The reduced fluorescence of Rhodamine 12 was determined as the reduced MMP. Data (n = 3) are expressed as mean ± SD. The statistical significant of differences was calculated using one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s post hoc test. Different letters represent significant difference (p < 0.05).
