Table 2.
The growth inhibition of C. albicans by combination of eugenol and magnolol. The synergistic growth inhibition is indicated in bold. Growth inhibition was calculated by comparing the cell density (Abs595) at the indicated eugenol and magnolol concentrations to the cell density without eugenol and magnolol (Abs595). The statistical analysis was performed by one-way ANOVA using Tukey method. Values that differ from the control at a 95% confidence level are marked with a star on top of symbols
