Binding Assay Bacteria labeling: E. coli, S. epidermidis, and P. fluorescens (108 CFU mL−1 in PBS) were labeled with 0.1 vol% Syto9, 7 µM MitoView650, and 20 µM MitoView720 in PBS, respectively. Bacteria were incubated in dye solutions for 1 h at RT under aerobic conditions and gentle shaking (200 rpm), washed with PBS and immediately used for binding experiments. Mixtures of bacteria and functionalized clay: The heterogenous cultures of labeled E. coli, S. epidermidis, and P.

Multifunctional Halloysite Nanotubes-Polydopamine Agro-Carriers for Controlling Bacterial Soft Rot Disease Current pesticide formulations suffer from instability and susceptibility to drift, which diminish their effectiveness and harm the environment. To circumvent these challenges, we have developed a core-shell carrier by employing in situ polymerization of dopamine on Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs), loaded with the antibacterial essential oil thymol.
