Dissolvable Trimolybdate Nanowires as Ag Carriers for
High-Efficiency Antimicrobial Applications
Figure 6
Results of the cytotoxicity test for nanowires in 293E human cells. The experiments were performed under varying concentrations (C) in unit of part per million (ppm) of the nanowires used and varying reaction times with the cells (in hours). B.I.: Bacterial infection; n.: normal; L.F.: loss form; C.S.: contents spill; A.: apoptosis; and s: slightly. In the blue (dark and light) regions the nanowires are friendly to human cells but show no obvious antimicrobial effect. In the green (normal) region the nanowires are both friendly to human cells and have an effective antimicrobial effect. In the red (dark and light) regions the nanowires have an effective antimicrobial effect but also attack human cells.
