Visible light responsive photocatalyst induces progressive and apical-terminus preferential damages on Escherichia coli surfaces.

Visible light responsive photocatalyst induces progressive and apical-terminus preferential damages on Escherichia coli surfaces.

BACKGROUND: Recent research shows that visible-light responsive photocatalysts have potential usage in antimicrobial applications. However, the dynamic changes in the damage to photocatalyzed bacteria remain unclear. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Facilitated by atomic force microscopy, this study...
