A Ferritin Photochemical Synthesis of Monodispersed Silver Nanoparticles That Possess Antimicrobial Properties

Figure 5

AgNP minimal inhibitory concentration tests. Bacterial growth is represented by a turbid solution. The inhibition of bacterial growth is demonstrated by a clear solution. The AgNP concentration added to the growth media is represented above each tube. The Ftn-AgNPs (left image) and control commercial AgNPs (right image) inhibit bacterial growth at 20 ppm and 5 ppm, respectively. The test was executed in triplicates.
