Fungal Biofilm Culture
Fungal biofilm culture is an in vitro method for growing surface-attached fungal communities, most commonly Candida albicans, on abiotic substrates such as polystyrene wells, silicone elastomer, or polymethylmethacrylate; the assay models adhesion, proliferation, filamentation, extracellular-matrix-associated maturation, and dispersion. Biofilm output can be read by optical density at 600 nm for adherent biomass, XTT reduction for metabolic activity, CFU recovery for viable attached or dispersed cells, and microscopy for architecture.
