Microbe Species (MIC) Regulated by This HIF
         Candida glabrata (budding yeasts) MIC01794
             Description CGA-N46 could inhibite the growth of Candida species by decreasing intracellular reactive oxygen species levels. [2]
         Pichia kudriavzevii (budding yeasts) MIC01793
             Description The treatment with CGA-N46 increased the average body weight and decreased the mortality of the immunocompromised mice model infected with Candida krusei. [2]
