ZnO and TiO2 nanoparticles alter the ability of Bacillus subtilis to fight against a stress.

Due to the physicochemical properties of nanoparticles, the use of nanomaterials increases over time in industrial and medical processes. We herein report the negative impact of nanoparticles, using solid growth conditions mimicking a biofilm, on the ability of Bacillus subtilis to fight against a s...
