Fig. 4. The effects of cultured P. vulgaris and P. mirabilis supernatants on expression of C. albicans morphology-related genes. Relative quantitation of hyphae-specific (A), filament formation inhibiting (B), and yeast-specific (C) gene expression. Expression of genes was determined by quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. The data represent the average and standard deviation of three separate experiments. ^*p<0.05, ^**p<0.01 compared with the biofilm formation of C. albicans only.
