Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes Promote Bacterial Conjugative Plasmid Transfer

Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes Promote Bacterial Conjugative Plasmid Transfer

ABSTRACT Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) regularly enter aquatic environments due to their ubiquity in consumer products and engineering applications. However, the effects of MWCNT pollution on the environmental microbiome are poorly understood. Here, we evaluated whether these carbon nanopart...
