Oxidative stress in microorganisms induced by iron nanoparticles
Original language description
Engineered iron nanoparticles, with sizes smaller than 100 nm, have been of high concern because of their promising capability in environmental remediation. Nanoparticles based on zero-valent iron (nZVI) have the potential not only to migrate in the environment and interact with pollutants but also influence the living organisms by direct impact or by changes of groundwater parameters. The basis of many food chains is dependent on the benthic and soil flora and fauna. In general, nZVI can significantlyinfluence the soil microbial diversity, interact with ions in the soil, form non-toxic complex salts and/or be adsorbed. Moreover, nanoparticles could have indirect effect on microorganisms via changes in bioavailability of essential compounds. Iron canconvert less reactive hydrogen peroxide to more reactive hydroxyl radicalsvia the Fenton reaction.
