A SEM image of overnight B. subtilis cells untreated (A) and treated (B) after incubation 24 h of treatment with ZnP-based nanomaterial synthesized by A. fumigatus. SEM image of control cells displaying smooth and undamaged structures. SEM image of treated cells showing disruption and breakdown of the cell and the cell lysis. C Schematic mechanism of the proposed antibacterial mode of action of the biosynthetic zinc phosphate-based nanosheets crystal
