Morphological changes in bacterial cells exposed to carbon nanodot photosensitizers. (a) Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of E. coli cells after (left) light exposure only and (right) after light-exposure in carbon dot treated samples. (b) Scanning electron microscopy images displaying E. coli cells both (left) pre and (right) post exposure for carbon dot treated samples.
