Lipid peroxidation assay. The cell membrane fatty acid oxidation potential of bAgNPs synthesized at pH 8 was measured through malondialdehyde–thiobarbituric acid (MDA–TBA) adduct assay. The absorbance of the MDA–TBA pink adduct was measured at 532 nm. The values presented are mean ± SE of multiple samples (N = 3). Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test. The absorbance of the MDA–TBA adduct of bAgNP-treated bacteria were significantly higher than that of the untreated bacteria (i.e., control) and ***P < 0.01.
