Table 2 Summary of the interaction of AgNP with algae and fish cells
From: Interaction of silver nanoparticles with algae and fish cells: a side by side comparison
| Â | Algae | Fish cell |
|---|---|---|
NP behavior | Slight agglomeration in MOPS medium | Slight agglomeration in d-L-15/ex medium and strong agglomeration in L-15/ex and L-15/ex w/o Cl media |
Toxicity | Dissolved silvera | Dissolved silvera, nanoparticle-specific effect |
Cellular uptake | No, adsorbed on algal surface | Yes, uptake via endocytic pathways |
AgNP-protein interaction | Adsorption of extracellular enzyme on AgNP, inhibition of enzymatic activity | Cell membrane proteins and endocytic proteins binding to NP, inhibition of enzymatic activity |
