Biosynthesized AgNPs destroy cell structure of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci. a, c Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showing morphological characteristics of P. syringae pv. tabaci under normal conditions. b, d SEM images showing morphological characteristics of P. syringae pv. tabaci treated with biosynthesized AgNPs (1.2 Î¼g/mL) for 5 h. Arrows indicate disrupted bacterial cells. e Growth curve of P. syringae pv. tabaci treated with biosynthesized AgNPs. Mock, negative control (treated with sterilized distilled water). The data are mean ± standard error (n = 3). Data analysis was performed using Student’s t test (∗0.01 < P < 0.05, ∗∗0.001 < P < 0.01, ∗∗∗P < 0.001)
