Figure 1. Percentage of dry mycelial weight produced by Trichophyton rubrum in the absence (control) and presence of geraniol (MIC: 32 g/mL; 2 × MIC: 64 g/mL) and citronellol (MIC: 128 g/mL; 2 × MIC: 256 g/mL). (a) T. rubrum ATCC 1683; (b) T. rubrum LM 422. Control produced 100% of dry mycelial weight. *p < 0.05 compared with control.

Figure 3. Rate of release of intracellular material from Trichophyton rubrum ATCC 1683 absorbing at 260 nm in the absence (control) and presence of geraniol (MIC: 32 µg/mL; 2 × MIC: 64 µg/mL) and citronellol (MIC: 128 µg/mL; 2 × MIC: 256 µg/mL).
