a The Schematic showing the proposed photo-induced redox imbalance in anaerobic bacteria. The anaerobic bacteria cartoon was created in BioRender. Zhou, K. (2024) https://BioRender.com/b96y986. b, c Absorbance changes of NADH (180 μM) at 339 nm after photocatalytic oxidation by 3 μM TBSMP (b) and TBSMSPy+ (c) with Fe3+ in deoxygenated DMSO solution. d Quantitative analysis of NADH level in bacterial suspension treated with TBSMP and TBSMSPy+ at laser irradiation and without irradiation. Data are presented as mean ± s.d. derived from n = 3 independent biological samples. ET: electron transfer; e: electron.
