Candida Albicans Biofilm Eradication via Cold Atmospheric Plasma Treatment

A 286.5 KB PDF file published on figshare by Manca Lunder in April 2026. The dataset contains experimental results evaluating the effects of cold atmospheric plasma voltage and treatment duration on Candida albicans biofilms, measuring viability, metabolism, and structural changes.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between plasma voltage and biofilm eradication based on reported viability results.
• Analyzing the impact of treatment duration on oxidative stress levels within biofilms.
• Investigating morphological changes in hyphal structure following plasma exposure.
• Correlating plasma parameters with molecular changes in biofilm biomass composition (lipids, proteins, carbohydrates).

Strengths

• Clear experimental parameters defined: applied voltages (8V, 12V, 16V, 20V) and treatment durations (up to 5 minutes).
• Specific eradication thresholds reported: complete eradication achieved at 3 minutes for 16V and 20V.
• Multiple response variables measured: inhibition zones, viability, metabolism, membrane integrity, oxidative stress, biomass composition, and morphology.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is contained within a PDF file, requiring extraction for computational analysis.
