From: Efficient Antibacterial Membrane based on Two-Dimensional Ti3C2Tx (MXene) Nanosheets

SEM images of the E. coli (top panels) and B. subtilis (bottom panels) colonies grown on (A) PVDF and (B) Ti3C2Tx modified membranes, at low and high magnifications. Control bacterial cells were viable with no observed membrane damage or cell death, and the higher magnification images show that the bacteria were protected by intact cytoplasmic membrane.
