Abstract
Based on a series of biochemical experiments for analysis and characterization, it is found that the uncharged C-dots have no effect on bacterial growth while the negatively charged and positively charged C-dots can induce bacteria apoptosis. For the positively charged C-dots, they can induce both bacteria apoptosis and bacteria death. These observations will provide new insights into bioapplications of carbon dots.Entities:
