Abstract

The toxicity of CuO engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) to chlorella pyrenoidosa was investigated in this study. CuO ENPs inhibited the growth of algal cells significantly, while the Cu ion and CuO bulk particles (BPs) showed lower toxicity than ENPs. The black dots observed in cells using Transmission electron microscopic (TEM) were determined as copper compound by EDS analysis. Cu content in algal cells measured confirmed the Cu internalized.
