Metabolomic response of microalgae towards diclofenac sodium during its removal from water and concomitant recovery of pigments and lipids

Polystyrene nanoplastics alter the ecotoxicological effects of diclofenac on freshwater microalgae Scenedesmus obliquus

“…This is consistent with the previous results where DCF alone showed a concentration-wise increase in ROS and MDA levels in Chlorella sorokiniana . 39 Similar to our study, pristine NPs showed an increase in ROS and MDA content on S. obliquus . 24 In the combinations with the higher DCF concentration, an enhancement in ROS and MDA generation was noticed.…”

“…can have an inductive effect on the growth of Chlorella sorokiniana , Spirulina platensis , and diatom Navicula sp. 39,40 This biphasic dose response has been noted from primary producers like S. obliquus to higher organisms when exposed to NPs. 41 Similar to our study, the combined effect of PS particles and DBP on Chlorella pyrenoidosa was antagonistic at lower doses of DBP while being synergistic at higher doses.…”

“…The obtained pellet was separated and resuspended in 90 % methanol, and incubated for 10 min at 55 °C followed by centrifugation to obtain extracted photosynthetic content. Absorbance of the supernatant was measured at 665 nm and 652 nm by UV‐spectrophotometer [64] . Chlorophyll a concentration was evaluated by the following equation (Eq.…”
