Nano-sized polystyrene plastics toxicity to microalgae Chlorella vulgaris: Toxicity mitigation using humic acid

Parichehr Hanachi et al.

Summary: The presence of natural organic matter (NOM), modeled by humic acid (HA), can mitigate the acute toxicity of amino-functionalized polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NH2) to green microalga Chlorella vulgaris, reducing cellular aggregation and cell size reduction. Higher concentrations of HA are more effective in reducing the toxicity of PS-NH2. The formation of cellular aggregates under the influence of PS-NH2 is likely related to the electrostatic attraction between the positively charged surfaces of the particles and the negatively charged polysaccharide walls of C. vulgaris.

Cellular Process of Polystyrene Nanoparticles Entry into Wheat Roots

Jiahui Zhu et al.

Summary: In this study, polystyrene nanoparticles with different sizes and functional groups were used to investigate their internalization process in wheat roots and cells. The results showed that the size and surface functional group of the nanoparticles play important roles in their internalization, with size being the primary factor. These findings provide important information for understanding the behavior of nanoparticles in plant tissues and assessing their potential risks to food safety and agricultural sustainability.

Nano-bio interfacial interactions determined the contact toxicity of nTiO2 to nematodes in various soils

Jie Hou et al.

Summary: The biological effect of soilborne nanoparticles is a result of the interactions between soil, nanoparticles, and organisms. Soil factors can change the surface properties of nanoparticles and therefore affect their toxicity. However, the mechanisms by which environmental factors influence nano-bio interactions to exacerbate or alleviate nanotoxicities are not well understood. This study investigated the toxicity of TiO2 nanoparticles in different soils and found that pH and dissolved organic matter were the main regulators of nanoparticle toxicity. Low pH increased nanoparticle adhesion and dermal wrinkling, while humid acid alleviated these effects. These findings enhance our understanding of how nanoparticles induce contact toxicity in soil invertebrates through specific biointerfacial interactions and emphasize the important role of dissolved organic matter in mitigating the combined hazards of nanoparticles and soil acidification.

Toxic effects of polystyrene nanoplastics on microalgae Chlorella vulgaris: Changes in biomass, photosynthetic pigments and morphology

Mehdi Khoshnamvand et al.

Summary: The presence of nanoplastics in aquatic media raises concerns about their adverse effects on aquatic organisms. This study found that amino-functionalized polystyrene nanoplastics of smaller sizes exhibited greater toxicity on green microalgae compared to larger nanoplastics. Additionally, high concentrations of nanoplastics can affect the morphology and shape of algae, potentially limiting material transport, gas exchange, and energy transfer.

Influence of extracellular polymeric substance on the interaction between titanium dioxide nanoparticles and Chlorella pyrenoidosa cells

Xuan Gao et al.

Summary: The presence of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) affects the interfacial interaction between titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nTiO(2)) and algae, promoting surface accumulation of nanoparticles on algal cells while limiting their internalization. The different endocytosis pathways for anatase nTiO(2) and rutile nTiO(2) entering algal cells may be attributed to their affinities to mediating receptors. EPS removal activates mediating pathways, facilitating more nanoparticle internalization.

Effects of Nanoplastics on the Dinoflagellate Amphidinium carterae Hulburt from the Perspectives of Algal Growth, Oxidative Stress and Hemolysin Production

Su-Chun Wang et al.

Summary: The research found that high concentrations of polystyrene nanoplastics (nano-PS) significantly inhibit the growth of marine toxigenic dinoflagellate Amphidinium carterae, leading to increased oxidative stress and production of hemolytic toxins. The effects of nano-PS on A. carterae are closely linked to concentration, surface properties, and exposure time.

Cell Cycle Control of Nanoplastics Internalization in Phytoplankton

Neng Yan et al.

Summary: The study reveals that the cell cycle plays a crucial role in the bioaccumulation and internalization of nanoparticles, with different cell cycle stages showing varying characteristics in NP accumulation. Factors such as clathrin-mediated endocytosis capacity, algal cell membrane permeability, and exopolymer substance (EPS) thickness are identified as key determinants in NP bioaccumulation during the cell cycle.

Plastic ingestion as an evolutionary trap: Toward a holistic understanding

Robson G. Santos et al.

Summary: Human activities are altering ecosystems globally, with plastic pollution playing a predominant role. Wildlife ingest plastic due to factors such as the availability of plastics in the environment, an individual's acceptance threshold, and the overlap of cues given by natural foods and plastics, as identified through the evolutionary trap theory.

Mechanism of the inhibition and detoxification effects of the interaction between nanoplastics and microalgae Chlorella pyrenoidosa

Wenfeng Yang et al.

Summary: This study found that nanoplastics had higher inhibition rates on microalgae compared to microplastics, but the inhibitory effect decreased with prolonged exposure time. The mechanisms of nanoplastics' impact on algae varied at different concentrations, including gene expression inhibition, hindered DNA damage repair, and promotion of detoxification.

Ageing with algal EPS reduces the toxic effects of polystyrene nanoplastics in freshwater microalgae Scenedesmus obliquus

Sayani Giri et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of ageing EPS-coated PSNPs on the toxicity towards freshwater microalgae, showing that aged PSNPs had significantly lower toxic effects compared to pristine forms. The surface functionalization of PSNPs and the duration of ageing played a significant role in influencing the toxic effects. Improved cell viability and photosynthetic efficiency were observed with decreased levels of reactive oxygen species. The principal component analysis helped in better understanding how ageing of PSNPs influenced various biological parameters.
