Responses of Algal Cells to Engineered Nanoparticles Measured as Algal Cell Population, Chlorophyll a, and Lipid Peroxidation: Effect of Particle Size and Type
Figure 4
Critical specific growth () as a function of primary particle size of TiO2 in terms of EC20 and EC50. Lines are a five-parameter modified log normal empirical fitting (7) from SigmaPlot ver. 9.01 for EC20 (dotted) and EC50 (solid). Error bars are ±1 standard deviation. Experimental conditions: initial algae concentration = cell/mL, test duration = 4 days, and initial test volume = 200 mL.
