Toxicity of Nano-ZnO and Nano-TiO2 to M. aeruginosa

Article Preview

Abstract:

Anabaena sp. and M. aeruginosa were used to examine the toxic mechanism of nano-ZnO to them, as well as the toxicity. Typical chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, including effective quantum yield, photosynthetic efficiency and maximum electron transport rate, were measured by a pulse amplitude modulated fluorometer. Results showed that nano-ZnO could inhibit Anabaena sp. and M. aeruginosa growth with the EC50 (concentration for 50% of maximal effect) of 0.74±0.01 and 1.68±0.01 mg/L respectively. The toxicity of nano-ZnO to Anabaena sp. is higher than that to M. aeruginosa, which can be proved by the malondialdehyde content in Anabaena sp. and M. aeruginosa cells.
