Representative bacterial population growth inhibition curves for E. coli and B. subtilis upon treatment with RDNA or SDNA, curcumin, curcumin-conjugated R(S)DNA, metallo-curcumin-conjugated R(S)DNA complexes in LB medium for 20 h. (a,b) Growth rate measured by optical density at 600 nm (OD600) of E. coli with and without R(S)DNA, C, R(S)DNA-C, R(S)DNA-Cu-C, R(S)DNA-Ni-C, and R(S)DNA-Zn-C complexes at 37 °C. (c,d) Growth inhibition curves of B. subtilis with and without R(S)DNA, C, R(S)DNA-C, R(S)DNA-Cu-C, R(S)DNA-Ni-C, and R(S)DNA-Zn-C complexes at 37 °C. The curves show the mean of triplicate measurements, and the error bars represent the standard deviation of the mean. Untreated cells were used as a control.
