BiNPs affect the dimorphic transition and inhibit biofilm formation in C. albicans. Untreated controls (a, d) show the typical filamentous C. albicans biofilms; however, in samples treated with a low concentration of BiNPs, the dimorphic transition is affected. b, e In samples treated with a high concentration of BiNPs, biofilm formation is mostly inhibited, and the cells show aberrant morphologies (c, f). Yeast-like (in red) and pseudohyphae-like (in blue) cells were observed. Scale bars: white = 40 μm, yellow = 4 μm
