Background: Biofilm formation and hydrolase enzyme secretion are the virulence factor of Candida albicans. One of the hydrolase enzyme is secreted aspartyl proteinase or proteinase enzyme. This enzyme expressed more on mature biofilm of Candida albicans rather than on Candida albicans planktonic. Java turmeric is a native Indonesian plant which is known to have inhibition effect toward Candida albicans biofilm and could decrease the phospholipase enzyme activity of planktonic Candida albicans.Objective: To observe the activity of proteinase enzyme in Candida albicans biofilm that had been inhibited by Java turmeric ethanol extract.Method: exposure of Java turmeric ethanol extract to Candida albicans biofilm that had been incubated for 90 minutes, was followed by further incubation to reach early phase (6 hours), intermediate phase (24 hours), and maturation phase (48 hours) of biofilm formation. Inhibited biofilm then moved to the solid medium containing bovine serum albumin agar (BSAA). The activity of proteinase enzyme was analyzed by measuring the proteolytic zone seen outside the zone of Candida albicans colony on the BSAA.Result: No activity of proteinase enzyme showed on early phase of biofilm formation that had been inhibited by Java turmeric ethanol extract. On intermediate and maturation phase of biofilm that had been inhibited by Java turmeric ethanol extract showed high activity on proteinase enzyme although not as high as the activity of biofilm that had not been inhibited.Conclusion: The activity of proteinase enzyme is decreased on Candida albicans biofilm that had been inhibited by Java turmeric ethanol extract."

"ABSTRAKThe growth of C. albicans is influenced by glucose intake. Xylitol is commonly used as sugar substitute. Reported effective concentrations of xylitol in reducing C. albicans growth in vitro were varied, 1%, 5%, and 10%. Objectives: Investigate the effect of different concentration and duration of xylitol exposure in inhibiting C. albicans growth in vitro. Method: Identification of C. albicans from oral swab of a male candidiasis patient was conducted using CHROMagar, confirmed by germ tube test. C. albicans suspension (108 cells/µl) were inoculated in SDB contained 1%, 5%, 10% xylitol, and without xylitol (as control), for 3 and 7 days, then incubated in 37oC on SDA and counted for their CFU after 48 hours. The C. albicans ATCC 10231 strain was used as acomparison. Results: After 3 days, increased concentration of xylitol (1%, 5%, 10%) lead to decrease growth of C. albicans, both the ATCC 10231 (125%; 51%; 14% respectively) and the clinical isolate (103%; 81%; 42%), p = 0.044. Significant lower growth of C. albicans compared to control were only seen in those exposed to 10% xylitol (p = 0.024).
