(A) Plots of dose (AuNP mg/L) versus viable Ap/En cells (% of control) at day 16. A 5 to 60 mg/L dose of all AuNP exhibited comparable response. Only 100 mg/L dose caused significant decrease in viable cell enumeration. Values are mean ± SD; (B) Plots of dose (AuNP mg/L) versus viable Ap/Ep cells (% of control) at day 16). Different AuNPs yielded variable response, but maximum protection was provided by AuNPKG-50,-90 at 20 mg/L dose. Values are mean ± SD. *: p < 0.05 when compared with An/En response and x, # or @: p < 0.05, when viability of Ap/Ep cells exposed to a given dose of and AuNP compared with viability of Ap/Ep exposed to the same dose of other AuNPs. 1: AuNPKG-90, 2: AuNPKG-50, 3: AuNPKG-50, 4: AuNPKG-37, 5: AuNPK-50,90, 6: AuNPPEG+KG, 7: AuNPKG-37, 8: AuNPPEG, 9: AuNPG-50,G90.
