Silver ions cause oscillation of bacterial length of Escherichia coli

Abstract Silver (Ag) in various forms have recently gained broad interest and been revisited due to their promising antimicrobial effects. Here we report our study on the morphological dynamics of live bacteria when subjected to Ag+ ions. Using time-lapse microscopy, we observed oscillations of cell...
