Abstract:Microalgae are microorganisms of great importance for aquatic ecosystems. The investigation of their interaction with potential environmental stressors like nanoparticles (NPs) is essential in order to assess their behavior and fate in aquatic ecosystems. The scope of this work is to investigate the response and potential toxic effects of the short-term exposure of Scenedesmus rubescens microalga to zinc oxide (ZnO) NPs with various initial nitrate concentrations in the culture medium. Scenedesmus rubescens wa… Show more
