Remote Biodegradation of Ge–Imogolite Nanotubes Controlled by the Iron Homeostasis of Pseudomonas brassicacearum

Résumé

The toxicity of high-aspect-ratio nanomaterials (HARNs) is often associated with oxidative stress. The essential nutrient Fe may also be responsible of oxidative stress through the production of reactive oxygen species. In the present study, it has been examined to what extent adding Fenton reaction promoting Fe impacted the toxicity of an alumino-germanate model HARN. Structural addition of only 0.95% wt Fe to Ge–imogolite not only alleviated the toxicity observed in the case of Fe-free nanotubes but also stimulated bacterial growth. This was attributed to the metabolization of siderophore-mobilized Fe from the nanotube structure. This was evidenced by the regulation of the homeostasis-monitoring intracellular Fe levels. This was accompanied by a biodegradation of the nanotubes approaching 40%, whereas the Fe-free nanomaterial remained nearly untouched.
