The Effect of Nano-ZnO on the Photosynthetic Capacity and Survival of Anabaena sp. and M. aeruginosa

Abstract:

Anabaena sp. and M. aeruginosa were used to examine the toxic mechanism of nanoZnO 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 nanoZnO 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 nanoZnO 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.
