Abstract
as representative bacteria. The presence of PS in the photocatalytic reaction system improved the antibacterial activity of the composite against the two strains studied. Cytotoxicity of T-RGO nanocomposite was assessed using human macrophage cell lines and the results showed that the composite is biocompatible and nontoxic at the recommended dosage for water treatment in the present study.
