Surface-functionalization effects on uptake of fluorescent polystyrene nanoparticles by model biofilms

A study was conducted to investigate the role of nanoparticle (NP) surface functionalization/charge on their uptake by biofilms. Biofilms, bacterial colonies attached to surfaces via extracellular polymers, are effective at removing suspended nanomaterials from the aqueous phase. However, the mechan...
