Secretion of E , E -Farnesol and Biofilm Formation in Eight Different Candida Species

Abstract
Production of E , E -farnesol (FOH) and biofilm formation were studied under various conditions in 56 strains of eight Candida spp. FOH production differed significantly not only between Candida spp. but within Candida albicans strains as well. FOH concentrations and biofilm formation were the highest for C albicans .
