- Abstract
The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of titania nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) on chlorella cultivated in modified Blue–Green medium (BG-11). The chlorella species were exposed for 96 h with a daily reading of the quantity of chlorella cultivated in modified BG-11 medium with different concentrations (0, 10, 20, 50, 100 mg/L) of anatase and rutile, respectively. Experimental results revealed the growth of chlorella was promoted in BG-11 medium with anatase during 48 h exposing, while inhibited at 96 h. TiO2 NPs in rutile crystal structure had little impact on the growth of chlorella in the entire set of tests conducted. At low concentration (<100 mg/L), the influence of titanium ion concentration on the growth of chlorella was not obvious.
