Anti-adhesion and Anti-biofilm Potential of Organosilane Nanoparticles against Foodborne Pathogens

TL;DR: This study gives an insight to the efficacy of organosilanes based coatings against biofilm formation of foodborne pathogens, however, further studies are needed to better understand the impact of surface modification and the underlying mechanisms which are involved in this phenomenon.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of water chemistry on the particle-specific toxicity of copper nanoparticles to Daphnia magna.

TL;DR: It was found that the toxicity of Cu NP(particle) to Daphnia magna, in line with the trends in toxicity for Cu NP (ion), decreased with increasing pH and with increasing concentrations of divalent cations and dissolved organic carbon.

Effects of nanosized titanium dioxide on the physicochemical stability of activated sludge flocs using the thermodynamic approach and Kelvin probe force microscopy.

TL;DR: The results showed that the repulsive force predominated the bioflocs system as the concentration of nano-TiO2 increased, owing to the corresponding increase in the density of the negative charge, and these results are the keys for interpreting the adverse effects of nanosized titanium dioxide on the activated sludge flocs of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP).

Effects of CuxTiOy nanometer particles on biological toxicity during zebrafish embryogenesis

TL;DR: CuxTiOy penetrated into the skin, nerve and yolk sac epithelium cells on the zebrafish larvae as aggregated particles, which may induce the direct interaction between nanoparticles and cell to cause adverse biological responses.

Impact of ZnO and ZnS nanoparticles in sewage sludge-amended soil on bacteria, plant and invertebrates.

TL;DR: The effect of zinc oxide nanoparticles and zinc sulfide nanoparticles on the toxicity of sewage sludges in sewage sludge-amended soils was investigated with respect to plant- and soil- species and there were no significant differences between ZnO and ZnS NPs toxicity towards F. candida.

Probing the Cytotoxicity Of Semiconductor Quantum Dots.

TL;DR: This work found that CdSe-core QDs were indeed acutely toxic under certain conditions and modulated by processing parameters during synthesis, exposure to ultraviolet light, and surface coatings, and suggests that cytotoxicity correlates with the liberation of free Cd2+ ions due to deterioration of the Cd Se lattice.
