Enzymatic effects on antifungal activity of SH against Candida albicans SC5314. The enzymes include DNase I, RNase A, β-N-acetyl-glucosaminidase, β-glucuronidase, protease XIV, protease K, lyticase. Cells free of enzymes and drugs, enzyme-treated cells, and cells treated successively with enzymes and SH were analyzed by XTT method at 492 nm. The final concentration of enzyme was 50 μg/mL. The SH was two-fold diluted at concentrations of 8–1024 μg/mL. Other experimental procedures in Materials and Methods. ^∗p < 0.05; ^∗∗p < 0.01; ^∗∗∗p < 0.001; compared with enzyme-treated cells.
