SEM and corresponding EDX elemental analysis of Escherichia coli and Candida trobicalis: (a) Normal bacterial cells (E. coli) without nanocomposite treatment, (b) Normal yeast cells (C. tropicalis) without nanocomposite treatment, (c) Depressed and deformed bacterial cell after nanocomposite treatment, (d) Depressed and deformed Candida cell by nanocomposite treatment showing the complete lysis of Candida cell and loss of budding formation, (e) Corresponding EDX elemental analysis of the treated E. coli cell confirming the cellular internalization of the prepared nanocomposite in E. coli cells, and (f) Corresponding EDX elemental analysis of the treated C. tropicalis cell confirming the cellular internalization of the synthesized nanocomposite in C. tropicalis cells.
