Figure Lengend Snippet: Disaggregating efficacy of compounds 1 , 3 , 4 , and 8 at their relative MIC values, against biofilms of E. coli ATCC 35218, S. aureus ATCC 43387, K. pneumoniae 6/4 and C. albicans ATCC 10231, as assessed by spectrophotometer reader (OD 570nm ) after 30 min of contact. Data represent the mean ± SD obtained in three independent experiments performed in duplicate. Asterisks represent values statistically significant (* p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01) as compared to the related controls.
Article Snippet: On the contrary, all the derivatives ( 3 , 4 , and 8 ) showed low activity against E. coli ATCC 35218 biofilms, in some cases, also the derivatives reached remarkable percentages of biomass reduction.
