Nanoparticle Interactions with Bacteria: Toxicity and Chemotaxis
Two projects are presented in this report. First, a silver resistant strain of Pseudomonas sp. (closest relatives Pseudomonas putida and Pseudomonas plecoglossicidaI) was isolated from Town Neck Beach in Sandwich, MA. This strain could grow in 2ppm AgNO3 and at silver nanoparticle concentrations of 2000ppm. The lack of a toxic effect of high silver nanoparticle concentrations and the formation ...
متن کاملGold Nanoparticle-Biological Molecule Interactions
This review gives a brief summary of the field of gold nanoparticle interactions with biological molecules, particularly those with possible catalytic relevance. Gold nanoparticles are well known as catalysts in organic chemistry but much is unknown regarding their potential as catalysts of reactions involving biological molecules such as protein and nucleic acids. Biological molecules may be t...
متن کاملBiological Surface Coating and Molting Inhibition as Mechanisms of TiO2 Nanoparticle Toxicity in Daphnia magna
The production and use of nanoparticles (NP) has steadily increased within the last decade; however, knowledge about risks of NP to human health and ecosystems is still scarce. Common knowledge concerning NP effects on freshwater organisms is largely limited to standard short-term (≤48 h) toxicity tests, which lack both NP fate characterization and an understanding of the mechanisms underlying ...
متن کاملBiological mechanisms of gold nanoparticle radiosensitization
There has been growing interest in the use of nanomaterials for a range of biomedical applications over the last number of years. In particular, gold nanoparticles (GNPs) possess a number of unique properties that make them ideal candidates as radiosensitizers on the basis of their strong photoelectric absorption coefficient and ease of synthesis. However, despite promising preclinical evidence...
متن کاملMechanisms of Nanoparticle-Induced Oxidative Stress and Toxicity
The rapidly emerging field of nanotechnology has offered innovative discoveries in the medical, industrial, and consumer sectors. The unique physicochemical and electrical properties of engineered nanoparticles (NP) make them highly desirable in a variety of applications. However, these novel properties of NP are fraught with concerns for environmental and occupational exposure. Changes in stru...
