Analysis of the Toxic Mode of Action of Silver Nanoparticles Using Stress‐Specific Bioluminescent Bacteria

Every cell has a silver lining! The toxicity of Ag nanoparticles is investigated using a panel of recombinant bioluminescent bacteria. The presence of the nanoparticles leads to the production of a superoxide radical (see figure). Furthermore, the Ag nanoparticles damage the cellular membranes, caus... View More
