doi: 10.1039/d5ra04969e
Figure Lengend Snippet: Antibacterial activities of Chitligsan samples, prepared with distilled water and 0.1 M citric acid, against E. coli (ATCC 25922), S. aureus (ATCC 29213), and P. aeruginosa (ATCC 27853). Supernatant: supernatant of Chitligsan suspension, blank: distilled water (DI), ciprofloxacin (CIP) (5 µg mL −1 ), 1: Chitligsan DI extract (1 mg mL −1 ), 2: 0.1 M citric acid (control), 3: Chitligsan 0.1 M citric acid extract (1 mg mL −1 ).
Article Snippet: In addition to physicochemical examination, the antibacterial activity of Chitligsan against pathogenic bacteria ( Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213), alongside its cytotoxicity and impact on cell viability, was evaluated to gain further insight into its compatibility with biological systems.
