Figure 2: Fungal cell viabilities in saline after exposure to plasma. (a) Cell viability of T. mentagorophyte and (b) T. rubrum. The inserts in each figure represents the CFU values of each strain after treatment with plasma. The fungal conidia were treated with plasma for 0, 5, 10, 20, and 30 minutes. All data are expressed as a mean ± standard deviation and were analyzed via Student’s t-tests. Statistical significance was considered as p<0.05 (*, p<0.05; **, p<0.005 vs. control at the same time). |
