In laboratory experiments, researchers controlled the effect of nanoparticles of different sizes on the micro -outbreak of lobosphara with increasing salinity. The results showed that at low concentrations, the particles did not only harm the algae, but also their growth. In addition, this nanopartical dose completely neutralized the negative effects of salt.
However, at high concentrations, nanoparticles suppressed the growth of algae, destroyed chlorophyll, reduced photosynthesis efficiency and caused oxidative stress.
Researchers say that results have opened expectations for safe use of zinc oxide nanopicicities in biotechnology.
