Figure 3.
SEM image of TSP-AB-03 strain untreated or treated with AS101. The morphology of untreated group was observed under a magnification of 5000× and a scale bar of 10 μm (a) and a magnification of 10,000× and a scale bar of 5 μm (b). Those treated with 1× MIC (2 μg/mL) of AS101 were captured under a magnification of 5000× and a scale bar of 10 μm (c) and a magnification of 10,000× and a scale bar of 5 μm (d). The collapsed appearance (red arrows in (c) and (d)) indicated the AS101 might attack the bacterial outer membrane.
