主 题:Cerium oxide nanoparticles Environmental risks Repeated exposures Algae Photosynthesis Gene expression level
摘 要:The expanding production of engineered nanomaterials(ENMs)can eventually cause their increased release into and presence in aquatic ecosystems,potentially threatening the health of aquatic organisms and the stability of the ecological ***,ENMs are repeatedly released into real-world aquatic environments in relatively low concentrations,potentially affecting photosynthesis in primary producers such as ***,knowledge regarding the effects of repeated exposure to ENMs on algal photosynthesis is still ***,the physiological responses of the freshwater algae Chlorella vulgaris following single and repeated exposures to cerium oxide nanoparticles(CeO2 NPs)were investigated at 10 mg/L,with a focus on *** results showed that repeated exposures triggered increased photosynthetic pigment contents,oxidative stress levels,decreased photosynthetic performance,and lower biomass in *** compared to a single ***-related genes(i.e.,petA,petB,psaA,atpB,and rbcL)were found to be upregulated following repeated *** for petB,repeated rather than single exposure treatment significantly upregulated its expression levels by 2.92–10.24-fold compared to unexposed ***,increased exposure times could aggravate the interaction between CeO2 NPs and algae,elevating 8.13%,12.13%,and 20.51%Ce distribution on the algal cell surface or intracellularly,compared to a single *** study is the first to investigate the effects of ENM exposure times on algal photosynthesis,providing new insights into the assessment of the risks these materials pose to real-world aquatic environments.
