They found that anodic porous alumina (APA) surfaces prepared using electrochemistry in concentrated sulfuric acid had unprecedented resistance to bacterial growth, but did not hamper cell cultures.

Bacterial cells differ fundamentally in their structure from animal and human cells. For example, bacteria have a rigid cell wall, whereas human cells are surrounded only by a simple membrane.

The team have shown that their nanostructured surfaces resist the growth of bacteria, but enable the culturing of cells. Credit: Tokyo Metropolitan University New nanostructured alumina surfaces offer ...
