Measurements of contact angle (θ) of biolayer of C. albicans and H. pylori using three solvents with different polarities. Coefficient of variation appears in parenthesis followed of measured of contact angle, ε is dielectric constant of solvent at 25 °C [76], [77].
| Water | Ethylene glycol | 1,3-Propanediol | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Microorganism | (ε = 78.3) | (ε = 41.2) | (ε = 30.2) |
| C. albicans | 84.9 ± 1.6 (1.9%) | 77.5 ± 3.6 (4.6%) | 74.0 ± 4.3 (5.8%) |
| H. pylori | 76.6 ± 3.8 (4.9%) | 79.7 ± 3.9 (4.9%) | 77.2 ± 2.7 (3.5%) |
