Popis: | The wide application of titanium dioxide nanoparticles and phosphorus in the manufacturing of many industrial products mainly used in agricultural sector has resulted in the release of considerable amounts of these compounds into freshwater aquatic ecosystem. These compounds may cause some unexpected effects to aquatic organisms. This study assessed the binary effects of Titanium nanoparticles (nTiO2) and Phosphorus on Chlorella ellipsoides. Toxicological assay test of the compounds nTiO2 (1.25 μM) alone and the combination of Titanium dioxide (1.25 μM) and Phosphorus (16, 32, 80, 160, 240 μM) was assessed, after 96 h exposures, for optical density (OD680), specific growth rate, chlorophyll levels and lipid peroxidation via Malondialdehyde (MDA) activity. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD) and glutathione-s-transferase (GST) activities were also measured. Two-way ANOVA showed a significant interaction (P |
