Drug efflux assay and passive diffusion in presence of Ses. (a) Extracellular concentrations of R6G for C. albicans (ATCC 10261) cells grown in absence (control) and presence of Ses (0.552 mg/mL) calculated as described in material and methods. Negative control represents C. albicans deenergized cells without glucose. Mean of OD₅₂₇  ± SD of three independent sets of experiments are depicted on -axis with respect to time (minutes) on -axis. ( value > 0.05). (b) Passive diffusion of R6G in absence (control) and presence of Ses (0.552 mg/mL) calculated as described in Section 2. Mean of OD₅₂₇  ± SD of three independent sets of experiments are depicted on -axis with respect to time (minutes) on -axis ( value > 0.05).
