Effect of SiNPs (500 µg/ml) on the biofilm population of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in static conditions is shown in this figure
The results indicate that SiNPs were not effective in these conditions and the cell population gradually increased over time. The initial CFU count was recorded as 7.0×108. After a 12-hr exposure to 500 µg/ml SiNPs under static conditions, the CFU count slightly increased to 8.9×108.
SiNPs: Silicon nanoparticles; CFU: Colony forming units
