Biofilm ultrastructure following KSL-W treatment. C. albicans was cultured in Sabouraud medium without KSL-W for 6 days to promote biofilm formation and maturation. The resulting biofilms were then treated or not with KSL-W or amphotericin B for 6 days, with medium and peptide refreshing every 2 days. Following incubation, the samples were prepared as described in the Methods section and observed under a scanning electron microscope.
