1. Dip-coating of S. platensis, C. reinhardtii, and T. subcordiformis.
Dip-coating of S. platensis, C. reinhardtii, and T. subcordiformis. (A) Schematic of the dip-coating process of S. platensis in a suspension of Fe3O4 NPs. Bottom: MSP-6h/24h/72h represent the magnetized S. platensis subject to 6-/24-/72-hour dip-coating treatments, respectively. As the dipping time increased, the amount of Fe3O4 NPs, and hence thickness of the Fe3O4 coating on the S. platensis, also increased. (B) FESEM (top) and fluorescence images (bottom) of MSP-24h, MCR-24h, and MTS-24h samples. The fluorescence images were taken by a Leica SP8 confocal laser scanning microscope with excitation at 552 nm.
