Cyclodextrins in action: Modulating candida albicans biofilm formation and morphology
The primary objective of this research was to explore the bioactive potential of cyclodextrins in attenuating biofilm formation in C. albicans. The concentration-dependent effects of both native cyclodextrins and specific derivatives were studied at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 12.5 mM, to determine the mechanisms by which the extent of biofilm formation can be reduced. Besides, the efficiency of various combinations of cyclodextrins and farnesol, as an antifungal substance, were examined.
The present study revealed both stimulatory and inhibitory effects of cyclodextrins on biofilm formation, depending on the structure and concentration. The bioactive potential of randomly methylated α- and γ-CD showed significant antifungal properties, as evidenced by a reduction in the biofilm formation. In addition, randomly methylated cyclodextrins were found to significantly enhance the antifungal activity of farnesol against C. albicans. Consequently, their synergistic effect may provide an excellent opportunity to produce a lower dose but more effective anticandidal formulation.

期刊介绍:
Biotechnology Reports covers all aspects of Biotechnology particularly those reports that are useful and informative and that will be of value to other researchers in related fields. Biotechnology Reports loves ground breaking science, but will also accept good science that can be of use to the biotechnology community. The journal maintains a high quality peer review where submissions are considered on the basis of scientific validity and technical quality. Acceptable paper types are research articles (short or full communications), methods, mini-reviews, and commentaries in the following areas: Healthcare and pharmaceutical biotechnology Agricultural and food biotechnology Environmental biotechnology Molecular biology, cell and tissue engineering and synthetic biology Industrial biotechnology, biofuels and bioenergy Nanobiotechnology Bioinformatics & systems biology New processes and products in biotechnology, bioprocess engineering.
