Toxicity of ZnO and TiO(2) to Escherichia coli cells

We performed a comprehensive investigation of the toxicity of ZnO and TiO(2) nanoparticles using Escherichia coli as a model organism. Both materials are wide band gap n-type semiconductors and they can interact with lipopolysaccharide molecules present in the outer membrane of E. coli, as well as p...
