Figure 3

Growth inhibition of Gram-positive microbes by AgNPs synthesized using glucose. (a) Growth curves of S. epidermidis in LB medium inoculated with 107 CFU of bacteria in the presence of different concentration of AgNPs: (♦) 0  g/mL, (■) 10  g/mL, and (▲) 20  g/mL. (b) Growth curves of B. megaterium in LB medium inoculated with 107 CFU of bacteria in the presence of different concentrations of AgNPs: (♦) 0  g/mL, (■) 10  g/mL, and (▲) 20  g/mL.
