Figure 8.

The AO/PI staining shows the live and death cells in all treatments. (a) Control treatment with buffer showed a basal growth of R. mucilaginosa. (b) Treatment with 0 µg/mg shows an increment of the cell population. (c) The maximal increment of viable population of R. mucilaginosa was observed at 16.2 µg/mg of capsaicin. (d) Treatment with 32.5 µg/mg causes a decrease in mature viable cells of R. mucilaginosa fluorescent in green channel and an increase in the young death cell in red channel. (e) At 48.7 µg/mg, the growth inhibition was observed in the mature cell. (f) The mature death cells were observed at 65.0 µg/mg and no young cells were observed.
