Interplay of phosphate and carbonate ions with flavin photosensitizers in photodynamic inactivation of bacteria.

Interplay of phosphate and carbonate ions with flavin photosensitizers in photodynamic inactivation of bacteria.

Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) of pathogenic bacteria is a promising technology in different applications. Thereby, a photosensitizer (PS) absorbs visible light and transfers the energy to oxygen yielding reactive oxygen species (ROS). The produced ROS are then capable of killing microorganisms via...
