Figure 2From: Size-dependent antimicrobial properties of sugar-encapsulated gold nanoparticles synthesized by a green methodPlate assay showing the number of viable cells recovered after treatment of E. coli with dGNPs. (A) The bacterial cells were treated with dGNPs in the liquid media for 12 h and then were spread on the agar plates and incubated for further 12 h. (B) Plot of the number of E. coli colonies recovered against the number of dGNPs.Back to article page
