Fig. 3

a Bactericidal activity of control, [Au25(Cys)18] only, CV only, Cysteine only and CV&[Au25(Cys)18] against S. aureus in dark (n = 6 independent samples). CV indicates crystal violet. b, Bactericidal activity of control, [Au25(Cys)18] only, CV only, Cysteine only and CV&[Au25(Cys)18] against S. aureus in white light (n = 6 independent samples). c Bactericidal activity of control, [Au25(Cys)18] only, CV only, Cysteine only and CV&[Au25(Cys)18] against E. coli in the dark (n =6 independent samples). d Bactericidal activity of control, [Au25(Cys)18] only, CV only, Cysteine only and CV&[Au25(Cys)18] of E. coli in white light (n=6 independent samples). Bacteria inoculated materials were exposed to white light with an intensity from 200 to 429 lux. Data presented as mean ± SD. aCFU mL−1 indicates Colony forming unit per mL. Blue star represents below detection limit: <102 CFU mL−1.
