Fig. 5

TEM images of E. coli O17 cells grown in the media containing 50 mg/ml of AG stabilized CuNPs showed accumulation of nanoparticles on the cell wall (arrows) and attack of nanoparticles (A), (B) showed elongation of bacterial cell and particles around bacterial surface (arrows). (C) showed internalization of NPs intracellular and distribution in cytoplasm (star). (D) showed ghost appearance of cell with empty and flaccid structure (star) and cytoplasm with low electronic density. (E) showed disruption of cell wall and cellular damage 24 h post incubation compared with control bacterial cells only (F). Scale bar = 100 nm
