Comparative evaluation of the biofilm forming potential of five different strains of C. glabrata assessed by the crystal violet and XTT assay: (a) Comparative biomass formation by five strains of C. glabrata evaluated using crystal violet assay, all strains showed an increasing trend of biomass up to 120 h. X-axis represents the time of incubation up to 120 h of all strains under investigation, and Y-axis represents the optical density (OD) values taken at 690 nm (b) Metabolic activity of cells in the biofilm growth phase of all the tested C. glabrata strains evaluated using XTT assay and monitored for 120 h at different time points showed a decreasing trend of OD in all the strains. The ODs presented are the mean +/- standard deviation of three individual ODs evaluated in triplicate with p value < 0.05. Bar graph were drawn using GraphPad Prism (v 5.01)
