In this work, fluorescent carbon dots (C-dots) were synthesized using a hydrothermal method with Punica granatum (pomegranate) fruits as precursors, and were then used as probes for imaging of bacterial (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and fungal (Fusarium avenaceum) cells.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
