diversity depends on concentration of metal nanoparticles and their chemical composition. The reduction of microbial community also depends on associated microbial type. The metal tolerant capacity and production of extra cellular polymers
reduce the nano-toxicity. Silver, zinc oxide, titanium oxide, and carbon-based
nanoparticles have been widely studied nanomaterials, which showed mixed effect
on diverse microbial community in soil and water ecosystem. The generation of
reactive oxygen species, DNA damage, penetration of nanoparticles into the microbial cell, and disorganization of cellular membrane are the major causes of microbial reduction. Most of studies on nano-toxicity showed mixed effect on microbial
community at short-term exposure but understanding of nano-toxicity effect on
microbial community at long-term exposure required more research.
