Interfaces Between Nanomaterials and Microbes

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.
