In vitro dual-species biofilm formation of C. albicans and S. mutans by scanning electron microscopy: ( A) initial germ-tube formation (3000× magnification); ( B) mixed biofilm of untreated control group (G0) (1000× magnification); ( C– D) mixed biofilm under G2 exposure (1000× and 5000× magnification, respectively); ( E– F) mixed biofilm under G5 exposure (1000× and 5000× magnification, respectively). The presence of Cajuputs candy reduced the hyphal cells of C. albicans and inhibited matrix production after 24 hours biofilm formation. (1. S. mutans cell; 2. C. albicans yeast and hyphal cells; 3. water channel; 4. extracellular polysaccharides matrix; 5. microcolony).
