Investigating the mechanisms of silver nanoparticle toxicity in Daphnia magna : a multi-omics approach

The work presented in this thesis tests the hypothesis that AgNP toxicity is induced through the release of ionic silver (Ag) and therefore, that the mechanism of AgNP and Ag+ toxicity is identical. This hypothesis was tested through the comparison of molecular-level changes in Daphnia magna, a glob...
