Dissolvable Trimolybdate Nanowires as Ag Carriers for
High-Efficiency Antimicrobial Applications
Figure 5
Optical images of 3 samples that were spread on the same kind of N.A. base and cultured under the same conditions at 40°C for 18 hours. G1: pure Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. G2: Staphylococcus aureus bacteria mixed with dry nanowires. G3: pure nanowires. Staphylococcus aureus bacteria had been sufficiently eliminated with the presence of the nanowires. In G2, the nanowires originally seen on the N.A. surface disappeared gradually after 6–18 hours. In G3, the nanowires kept their original shapes.
