3O
4 was supplied by Promega Ltd. Dopamine hydrochloride was purchased from Aladdin Chemistry Co. Ltd. (Shanghai, China). Polyethyleneimine (PEI, M.W. 600,000–1,000,000, 50%) was bought from Sigma-Aldrich Co. (Shanghai, China). Deionized (DI) water (18.2 MΩ cm) was purified by a Smart-Q deionized water system (Hitech Pure Water Technology, Shanghai, China) and used in all aqueous solutions.
Luria-Bertani (LB) medium was from Beijing Land Bridge Technology Co., Ltd. (Beijing, China).
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was conducted via UHR FE-SEM SU8020 (Hitachi, Japan). The morphologies of the as-prepared materials were indicated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM, FEI
Tecnai G2 F30, Hillsboro, OR, USA). Infrared analysis was conducted with a
Nicolet IS50 Fourier transform infrared FT-IR (Thermofisher, Waltham, MA, USA). The zeta-potential was determined by the Malvern Nano Z Zetasizer. Bacteria were cultured by the RTS-1 Fully Automatic Biological Growth Monitoring Reactor (Republic of Latvia). ATP bioluminescence was detected by Lumitester Smart (Kikkoman Biochemifa Co., Noda, Japan).
Escherichia coli (
E. coli ATCC8739) and
Bacillus subtilis (ATCC6633) were purchased from Guangdong culture Collectioncenter of Microbiology.
