From: Effects of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) under Neisseria meningitidis transformation process
Schematic representation of the inhibitor effect of the DNase by MWCNT. (a) the transformation bacterial complex formed by many proteins as pilQ, pilE, ComA, and accessory proteins distributed around the outer membrane (OM), periplasmatic space (PS) and inner membrane (IM) in naturally transformable Gram negative bacteria, specially Neisseria species [38]. (b) Graph showing the inhibitory effect of MWCNT in DNase avoiding the DNA lyses.
