Effects of cadmium sulfide nanoparticles on sulfate bioreduction and oxidative stress in Desulfovibrio desulfuricans

Abstract

•	Efficiency of bioreduction of sulfate and biomass can be increased by CdS NPs.
•	It is important for the EPS of RSB to improve the sulfate reduction efficiency.
•	Utilization efficiency of extracellular electrons by RSB can be enhanced through EPS.
•	Humic acid can alleviate the oxidative stress induced by CdS NPs to SRB.
