Fig. 3 — Adhesion assay with non-irradiated and irradiated Candida tropicalis on different surfaces and methodologies. Crystal Violet staining showed a significant increase of biomass (a), with the difference visible to the naked eye in a 24-well microplate (b), with the thick extracellular matrix (arrows) visible in SEM (e). Adhesion capacity on TR146 line cells increased significantly after irradiation (d). Irradiation provoked a significant increase in adhesion on silicon in both the number of adhered yeast cells (c) and the adhesion density (f). Data from three independent experiments. Standard deviation represented by bars. (*) indicates significant difference between samples (non-irradiated and irradiated)
