مستخلص: Nanomaterials can empower microbial-based chemical production or pollutant removal, e.g., nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) as an electron source to enhance microbial reducing pollutants. Constructing bio-nano interfaces is critical for bio-nano system operation, but low interfacial compatibility due to nanotoxicity challenges the system performance. Inspired by microorganisms' resistance to nanotoxicity by secreting extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), which can act as electron shuttling media, we design a highly compatible bio-nano interface by modifying nZVI with EPS, markedly improving the performance of a bio-nano system consisting of nZVI and bacteria. EPS modification reduced membrane damage and oxidative stress induced by nZVI. Moreover, EPS alleviated nZVI agglomeration and probably reduced bacterial rejection of nZVI by wrapping camouflage, contributing to the bio-nano interface formation, thereby facilitating nZVI to provide electrons for bacterial reducing pollutant via membrane-anchoring cytochrome c. This work provides a strategy for designing a highly biocompatible interface to construct robust and efficient bio-nano systems for environmental implication. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
