Effects of Nanoparticles on Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria in Indian Agricultural Soil

Abstract: Soil bacteria are some of the key players affecting plant productivity. Soil today is exposed to emerging contaminants like metal engineered nanoparticles. The objective of this study was to evaluate the toxicological effects of silver and zinc oxide nanoparticles on bacteria classified as plant growth-promoting bacteria. Three types of bacteria-nitrogen fixers, phosphate solubilizers, and biofilm formers-were exposed to engineered nanoparticles. Initially, the effect of silver and zinc oxide nanoparticles was… Show more

“…5a). The result is consistent with other studies in which ZnO nanoparticles caused in a decrease in abundance of soil bacterial community [22], and bacterial load in plate counts of soil samples [23]. However, the effect of ZnO nanoparticles on rhizosphere bacterial abundance was concentration and soil type dependent.…”

“…5a). The result is consistent with other studies where ZnO nanoparticles caused in a decrease in abundance of soil bacterial community [45]. ZnO nanoparticles exerted inhibitory effect on soil bacterial population by the release of zinc ions (Zn 2+ ) to induce oxidative stress, cell membrane damage and cytoplasmic leakage [46].…”

“…AgNPs showed bactericidal effects at lower concentrations of 2-22 µg/mL whereas ZnONPs showed a bacteriostatic effects up to concentrations of 3000 µg/mL in some cases. Moreover, AgNPs significantly changed the bacterial community in soil [192]. Another study assessed the toxicity of ZnONPs and CeO 2 NPs against Sinorhizobium meliloti, a symbiotic alfalfa inhabiting bacterium using advanced microscopic and spectroscopic techniques.…”
