Abstract
The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of nano-plastics (NPs) on the growth, photosynthesis, oxidative stress and antioxidant enzymes in Grateloupia turuturu and Chondrus ocellatus. Difference of surface characteristics between G. turuturu and C. ocellatus may affect adherence of plastics to their surface. The seaweed samples were cultivated at 5 different NP concentrations (0, 20, 200, 2000, 20000 ng/L) for 21 days. The accumulation of nano-plastics on surface of C. ocellatus was higher than that of G. turuturu. The highest concentration of NPs (20000 ng/L) inhibited the growth and photosynthesis activity of C. ocellatus. At the same concentrations, oxidative stress was caused with increase of antioxidant enzyme activities. G. turuturu was not affected by NPs at all tested concentrations. Based on these results, toxic effects of nano-plastics may be species specific. Toxicity is dependent on the capacity of macroalgae to accumulate nano-plastics on their surface.
期刊介绍:
Marine Environmental Research publishes original research papers on chemical, physical, and biological interactions in the oceans and coastal waters. The journal serves as a forum for new information on biology, chemistry, and toxicology and syntheses that advance understanding of marine environmental processes.
Submission of multidisciplinary studies is encouraged. Studies that utilize experimental approaches to clarify the roles of anthropogenic and natural causes of changes in marine ecosystems are especially welcome, as are those studies that represent new developments of a theoretical or conceptual aspect of marine science. All papers published in this journal are reviewed by qualified peers prior to acceptance and publication. Examples of topics considered to be appropriate for the journal include, but are not limited to, the following:
– The extent, persistence, and consequences of change and the recovery from such change in natural marine systems
– The biochemical, physiological, and ecological consequences of contaminants to marine organisms and ecosystems
– The biogeochemistry of naturally occurring and anthropogenic substances
– Models that describe and predict the above processes
– Monitoring studies, to the extent that their results provide new information on functional processes
– Methodological papers describing improved quantitative techniques for the marine sciences.
