Abstract "Nanomaterials are becoming ubiquitous; similarly microbes are everywhere. The latter occur as communities and biofilms. For example, gut bacteria are increasingly becoming important from health point of view. This book focusses on various ways the diverse nanomaterials interact with microbes and implications of such interactions. Specific environmental niche like aquatic are considered but fate and bioavailability of nanomaterials in environments in general are also discussed.Microbes also produce nanomaterials which in turn have antimicrobial action. The interactions between microbes and nanomaterials in various contexts are discussed.Both toxicity and beneficial effects of these interactions are covered. Fairly comprehensive but with narrow focus, the book may be found useful by anybody who wants to gain insight into these interactions which are fast emerging as something which need to be factored in while designing new technologies based upon nanosciences"-- Provided by publisher.
