Abstract

Pijus Kanti Samanta and A K Mandal

Nanostructured materials are in the frontline of the present scientific research because of their multifunctional properties that leads their applications from optics to electronic, from mechanical engineering to medical science and technology. However increased levels of nanomaterials in the environment drastically affect the lifestyle activity of the microorganism of the environment. This also changes the biodiversity of the system. This mini review discusses about effect of nanoparticles on the Biodiversity of Soil and Water Microorganism Community as reported by the researchers. Also the mechanism of nanoparticle-microorganism interaction and functionality has been discussed.
