ASCs modified bacterial growth kinetics by targeting the membrane. (a) Transmission electron microscopy highlighted multiple bacterial division planes when bacteria Sa were brought into contact with ASCs. No difference in membrane thickness was detected (without ASC: and with ASC: ). (b) Scanning electron microscopy confirmed pseudo multicellular formations of Sa when incubated with ASCs.
