Popis: The unsafe and reckless disposal of metal oxide nanoparticles like ZnO (nZnO) into the soil could seriously impact bacterial behavioural responses and functions. Under such stress, biofilm formation is considered to be a robust mechanism for bacterial survival in soil. We examined the response of bacterial metagenomes in soils exposed to varying levels of Zn (50, 200, 500 and 1000 mg kg
