Resumos Cadastrados
Resumo Inglês:
Silver nitrate imparts different functions on bacteria depending upon its concentration. At lower
concentration it induced synthesis of nanoparticles, whereas at higher concentrations it induced cell death.
Bacillus licheniformis was used as model system. The MIC was 5 mM, and it induced catalase production,
apoptotic body formation and DNA fragmentation.
