Sublethal effects of photoactive engineered nanomaterials on filamentous bacteriophage infection and <i>E. coli</i> gene expression in freshwater
Under light n-TiO 2 or n-Ag increased infection by phage f1 while the ENM mixtures suppressed the effect, despite enhanced membrane permeability, F-pili gene expression, and pili density, providing mechanistic insights into ENMs' ecological impacts.
