%T Limits of antibacterial activity of triangular silver nanoplates and photothermal enhancement thereof for Bacillus subtilis 
%X Currently, nanoparticles are being actively explored for antimicrobial applications involving variety of pathogens. Bacillus subtilis is a major concern considering its sporulation and biofilm formation capability which involves high bacteria loadings. Also, there is natural ability of B subtilis to adapt and develop resistance to the silver nanoparticles alone. So, this study reports the limits of antibacterial activity of triangular silver nanoplates (?AgNPs) and further photothermal enhancement for B. subtilis ATCC 6051 for considerably high bacterial load of 2.5 ? 107 to 5 ? 108 CFU/ml.
