Antimicrobial activity of surfactant-modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was investigated by analyzing the growth curves an Escherichia coli (E. coli) population in ionic and non-ionic MWCNTs Luria Bertani (LB) broth. The surfactants (sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS), sodium cholate (SC), dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB), cetyltrimethylammonium (CTAB)) as well a polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) were used to test dispersion resulting antimicrobial effect means UV–vis...
Non-mycorrhizal but beneficial fungi often mitigate (a)biotic stress-related traits in host plants. The underlying molecular mechanisms are mostly still unknown, as the interaction between endophytic growth-promoting soil fungus Mortierella hyalina and Arabidopsis thaliana. Here, abiotic stress form of nitrogen (N) deficiency was used to investigate effects on colonized In particular, hypothesis investigated that fungal infection could influence N via an with high-affinity nitrate...
Here we present a hybrid approach to functionalize multi-walled carbon nanotubes in aqueous solution, exploring non-covalent binding strategy. We focus on formation of complexes consisting decorated by single stranded DNA, non-covalently attached using surfactants as intermediate layers. Unlike walled nanotubes, revealing easy side wall wrapping observe that nucleic acids around is diameter dependent.
X-ray detectors based on metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistors couple instantaneous measurement with high accuracy. However, they only have a limited lifetime because undergo permanent degradation due to x-ray beam exposure. A transistor carbon nanotubes (CNTs), however, overcomes this drawback of degradation, it can be reset into its starting state after being exposed the beam. In work CNTs were deposited using dielectrophoresis method SiO2 coated p-type (boron-doped) Si...
