Analyses of the Effect of Peptidoglycan on Photocatalytic Bactericidal Activity Using Different Growth Phases Cells of Gram-Positive Bacterium and Spheroplast Cells of Gram-Negative Bacterium

Analyses of the Effect of Peptidoglycan on Photocatalytic Bactericidal Activity Using Different Growth Phases Cells of Gram-Positive Bacterium and Spheroplast Cells of Gram-Negative Bacterium

We conducted photocatalytic experiments focusing on the peptidoglycan layer to elucidate the details of the mechanism of photocatalytic sterilization. The previous study of our laboratory suggested that the presence of the peptidoglycan layer increases the bactericidal effect. To further verify it,...
