Abstract
. The unmodified GQDs showed only 10% disruption of the adhered bacterial colonies, while the modified GQDs (1 : 100) showed significantly more than 60% disruption of the biofilm, presenting the competency of the modified GQDs. The unique modifications of GQDs have thus proven to be an effective method for the proficient utilization of zero-dimensional carbon nanomaterials for biosensing, bioimaging, antibacterial and anti-biofilm applications.
