The sensitivity of multiple ecotoxicological assays for evaluating Microcystis aeruginosa cellular algal organic matter and contribution of cyanotoxins to the toxicity

Growth suppression of bacteria by biofilm deterioration using silver nanoparticles with magnetic doping

“…The cytotoxicity of Ag, AgFe and AgCo NPs was assessed in human cells (T47D-breast carcinoma) and rainbow trout cells (RT-gills) using previously published protocols. 46,47 Briefly, both cell lines were exposed for 24 h to various NP concentrations (1,5,10,20,40, and 60 mg L −1 ). The concentrations were selected considering the HC used in the biofilm deterioration experiments as the middle value.…”
