Effect of cinnamon bark oil on the viability and desorption of a C. albicans ATCC 28366 biofilm. A pre-formed (24 h) C. albicans biofilm was treated for 60 min with cinnamon oil at its MFC, and the residual biomass and viability were measured by crystal violet staining and an XTT assay, respectively. A value of 100% was assigned to the pre-formed biofilm exposed to the cinnamon oil carrier solvent. The assays were performed in triplicate, and the mean ± SD of two independent experiments was calculated. *: significantly different from the control (p < 0.01)
