Concentrations of (E,E)-farnesol needed to inhibit germ tube formation were determined for Candida albicans strains A72 and SC5314 by using six different conditions known to trigger germination. For defined media, 1 to 2 microM farnesol was sufficient. However, with serum at 2 to 20%, up to 250 microM farnesol was required. Farnesol blocked germ tube formation but did not block elongation of existing germ tubes.
通过使用六种已知可触发芽管形成的不同条件,测定了抑制白色念珠菌菌株A72和SC5314芽管形成所需的(E,E)-法尼醇浓度。对于特定培养基,1至2微摩尔的法尼醇就足够了。然而,当血清浓度为2%至20%时,则需要高达250微摩尔的法尼醇。法尼醇可阻止芽管形成,但不会阻止现有芽管的伸长。
