Mechanistic Lessons Learned from Studies of Planktonic Bacteria with Metallic Nanomaterials: Implications for Interactions between Nanomaterials and Biofilm Bacteria

Mechanistic Lessons Learned from Studies of Planktonic Bacteria with Metallic Nanomaterials: Implications for Interactions between Nanomaterials and Biofilm Bacteria

Metal and metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) are used in numerous applications and have high likelihood of entering engineered and natural environmental systems. Careful assessment of the interaction of these NPs with bacteria, particularly biofilm bacteria, is necessary. This perspective discusses mec...
