“…At the same time, by applying low concentrations of nanoparticles, it is possible to accelerate the growth rate of microalgae, improve nutrient absorption, stimulate biomass production, and optimize the synthesis of bio-products of interest, such as proteins, carbohydrates, pigments, and lipids [8,14,15]. The remarkable bioavailability of nanoparticles supports the idea that they could represent more efficient sources of trace elements compared to their macroscopic forms, thereby contributing to improve vital functions [16]. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are among the most actively used in various fields, such as the food industry, agriculture, textile industry, medical industry, and phycobiotechnologies, including for the valorization of Porphyridium purpureum biomass [8,11,[17][18][19].…”
