Abstract:Carbon nanodots (CDs) are known to inhibit the growth of bacteria, and a developing trend is observed in the literature that attributes such activities specifically to photoactivation, N-doping, and/or surface charge. In this study, we demonstrate that CDs can inhibit bacteria growth as well without these predispositions. Using the minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration protocols, we study, without irradiation, the inhibitory activities of CDs that are low in N-content and surf… Show more
