Fig 10
Antibacterial activity of the silver and selenium nanoparticles.
a, AgNPs-A; b, AgNPs-B; c, SeNPs-A; d, SeNPs-B. AgNPs-A, silver nanoparticles synthesized by archaeal strain; AgNP-B, silver nanoparticles synthesized by bacterial strain; SeNP-A, selenium nanoparticles synthesized by archaeal strain; SeNP-B, selenium nanoparticles synthesized by bacterial strain. Microbial strains: sphere: E. coli; diamond: S. aureus; checker board: B. subtilis, dash: P. aeruginosa. Error bars indicate standard deviation for three replicates and different letters indicate significant difference between different concentrations (p<0.05).
