(a) (i) B. cereus AMDK1 (KC683896), (ii) C. albicans (MTCC 183), (iii) E. coli (MTCC 40), (iv) K. pneumoniae (MTCC 618), (v) L. monocytogenes AMDK2 (KF894986), (vi) M. smegmatis (ATCC 14468), (vii) P. diminuta (MTCC 3361), (viii) S. aureus (MTCC 3160), (ix) S. enterica typhimurium (MTCC 1252), and (x) Y. enterocolitica (MTCC 859). () and () represent water as negative control and gentamicin sulphate (for bacteria) or nystatin (for fungi) as positive control. (s) indicates sample (CNP); (b) untreated and (c) CNP-treated E. coli viewed under TEM; (d) HRTEM image of CNP-treated E. coli showing pit formation in cell membrane; (e) electrophoretic mobility of CNP-plasmid DNA complex. Lane M of the gel shows GeneRuler 1 kb Plus DNA ladder (Fermentas).
