Abstract:In this study, we investigated the impact of zinc oxide (ZnO) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) on
Escherichia coli
. These compounds are commonly used as fertilizers and feed additives and may have unintended consequences on bacteria. We conducted phenotypic and multi-omics analyses of
E. coli
exposed to sub-lethal concentrations of ZnO and ZnONPs for 40 sub-culturings and 20 sub-culturings with zinc followed by 20 sub-culturings without zinc in an attempt t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
