Photo-activated TiO2 damages bacterial plasmid DNA. (A) The schematic of the experiment to test the effect of photo-activated TiO2 on the plasmid DNA. (B) The DNA plasmid of pUC19 was treated with TiO2/light for 1 h, and then transformed into E.coli (DH5α). The ampicillin-resistant bacterial colony numbers were determined. The error bars in panel C were derived from triplicates. **, P<0.01; *, P<0.05; NS, P>0.05. (C) The TiO2/light-treated plasmid pUC19 for 1 or 2 h were analyzed by electrophoresis.
