Influence of Xenobiotics on the Mycorrhizosphere

Graphene-based nanomaterials and microbial communities: a review of their interactions, from ecotoxicology to bioprocess engineering perspectives

“…11 They represent a source of carbon and nutrient for higher trophic levels, drive the formation and decomposition of organic matter, 12 are responsible for the stabilisation of sediments in the aquatic ecosystems, 13 endorse key activities in soil formation and promote plant growth. 14 Disturbance of these communities could lead to large-scale environmental and ecological consequences. Effects of GBMs on microbes have been mainly investigated on mono species models of bacteria such as Staphylococcus epidermis , Escherichia coli , Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis 15–19 and eukaryotic micro algae such as Scenedesmus obliquus and Nitzschia palea .…”
