From: Citric acid/β-alanine carbon dots as a novel tool for delivery of plasmid DNA into E. coli cells
Potential of CDs to deliver the plasmid DNA of different sizes into E. coli cells. (A) Plates with transformed colonies of E. coli using CDs (citric acid + β-alanine) showing number of transformed colonies decreases as the plasmid size increases ranging from 4 to 13.6 kb. (B) Effect of plasmid size on transformation efficiency. Bar diagram comparison of number of transformed colonies obtained for different size of plasmids. Values are mean from three replicates ± standard deviation.
