Fig. 7

Scanning electron microscopy images of Escherichia coli cells treated a without nanocomposite, b with graphene oxide (GO) suspensions, c with quaternary ammonium salt (QAS) suspensions, and d with GO-QAS suspensions, respectively. Bacteria stained in green color represent nanosheets wrapping/trapping bacteria. Bacteria stained in blue color indicate nanosheets inserting into bacteria membrane. Bacteria stained in red color denote bacteria membrane perforated by nanocomposite with pores formed on the cell membrane. Bacteria stained in yellow color indicate bacteria split into two halves by nanosheets
