Toxicity Effect of Silver Nanoparticles on Photosynthetic Pigment Content, Growth, ROS Production and Ultrastructural Changes of Microalgae <i>Chlorella vulgaris</i>

Toxicity Effect of Silver Nanoparticles on Photosynthetic Pigment Content, Growth, ROS Production and Ultrastructural Changes of Microalgae <i>Chlorella vulgaris</i>

Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) exhibit antibacterial activity and are extensively used in numerous applications. The aim of this study was to examine the toxic effect of Ag NPs on the marine microalga, <i>Chlorella vulgaris.</i> The microalgae, at the exponential growth phase, were treate...
