Morphology and live/dead staining imaging of E. coli and S. aureus bacteria after different treatments. SEM images (A, C) and fluorescent staining photographs (B, D) of E. coli and S. aureus display bacterial membrane changes after different treatments. (I) Control, (II) Reduced GdW₁₀O₃₆, (III) H₂O₂, (IV) Reduced GdW₁₀O₃₆+H₂O₂, (V) Control+NIR, (VI) Reduced GdW₁₀O₃₆+NIR, (VII) H₂O₂ +NIR, and (VIII) GdW₁₀O₃₆ + H₂O₂ +NIR. (A, C: Scale bar represents 2 µm; B, D: Scale bar represents 20 µm).
