Fig. 12From: Role of multi-walled carbon nanotubes as a growth regulator for Basella alba (Malabar spinach) plant and its soil microbiotaAfter 48 h of incubation at 37 °C, the MWCNTs-treated Basella alba plant soil microbial culture plates have shown positive observation towards enhancement of soil microbial population. All the treated samples have shown CFUs, but S3 and S4 samples were observed to produce significantly higher native soil microbiota population in vitro while untreated control had significantly low (*p ≤ 0.05) colony forming units as compared to all the treated samplesBack to article page
