Nanomaterials are becoming ubiquitous;
microbes similarly are everywhere. This book focuses on various ways
the diverse nanomaterials interact with microbial communities and
implications of such interactions. Both toxicity and beneficial effects
of nanomaterial-microbe interactions have been covered. This includes
areas such as fate and bioavailability of nanomaterials in
environments, microbial synthesis of nanomaterials and antimicrobial
action of nanomaterials. Fairly comprehensive but with narrow focus,
the book provides useful insights into these interactions which need to
be factored in while designing nanoscience based new technologies.
