ABSTRACT
Concentrations of (E,E)-farnesol needed to inhibit germ tube formation were determined for Candida albicans strains A72 and SC5314 by using six different conditions known to trigger germination. For defined media, 1 to 2 microM farnesol was sufficient. However, with serum at 2 to 20%, up to 250 microM farnesol was required. Farnesol blocked germ tube formation but did not block elongation of existing germ tubes.
