3.Photoluminescence spectroscopy และ 3.1 Antibacterial activity
Horiba scientific Fluromax-4 spectrometer was used to evaluate the emission spectra of m-TRG. The sample preparation was done as in the case of absorption spectra.
3.1. Antibacterial activity
The effect of m-TRG on the log phase cells of the cultures such as Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) and Escherichia coli (ATCC 52922) was evaluated and the
cultures were treated with m-TRG for 24 h. All the tests were performed in triplicate. The bacterial inoculum was prepared in Luria-Bertani broth (LB broth pH 7.2) and it
was incubated at 37 °C for 8 h, then it was centrifuged at 6000 rpm for 10 min to harvest the bacterial cells and finally pellets were obtained. The pellets were further
washed twice with the isotonic saline solution, thereafter resuspended in isotonic saline solution. The bacterial cell suspension was diluted to obtain cell samples of 107
CFU/ml and this were in- oculated in each 5 ml LB broth and incubated with m-TRG samples at different concentrations (10, 20, 50, 60, 80 and 100 μg ml−1) of 1:10
volume ratio at 37 °C for 8 h under shaker (250 rpm/min). The LB broth containing E. coli and S. aureus without m-TRG were used as control. The cell viability of
bacterial cell in each sample indicated as a per- centage of that of the control. Moreover, the loss of cell viability was evaluated by colony counting method. For this,
100μl of the test samples and the control was spread on the LB agar plate, which was incubated at 37 °C for 24 h. Then, all the plates were visually inspected for the
presence of bacterial growth and the results were recorded. The death rate per hour was calculated using the following equation:
Here, N1 = Number of colonies grown on the control plate N2 = Number of colonies grown on the treated plate
ε% = Death rate of bacteria.
