Sonosensitizing Action of Teraphtal in Bacterial Media
Employing baderial model systems it was shown that the introdu^on of the soluble rampound - sodium salt of rabalt octacarboxyphthalocyanine (teraphtal) - into the medium led in an ultrasoni; field to a deCTease in the proportion of survived barteria. It is suggested that in the batferial environment teraphtal forms a solid phase, whidi in the u^ason^ field causes destrud;ion of the strud;ures adjacent to the nano^ystals due to ^a^ed cavitation processes.
