Figure 1.
Stability (log10 PFU/mL) of bacteriophage phiIPLA-RODI encapsulated in different types of nanovesicles and in SM buffer (control), after storage at 4 °C: (A) niosomes, (B) liposomes and (C) transfersomes. Phage titer was determined after encapsulation (black bars) and also after storage for 2 months (dark grey bars), 4 months (light grey bars) and 6 months (white bars). (F): non encapsulated or free phage; (E): encapsulated phage. Numbers (30, 50 or 70) indicates the concentration of components expressed in mg/mL. Bars represent mean ± standard deviation of three biological replicates. Different letters indicate differences in stability (p < 0.05; ANOVA and SNK post-hoc comparison).
