Article Synopsis
- This study investigated how multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) affect the growth of the freshwater diatom Nitzschia palea, comparing their effects with and without natural organic matter (NOM).
- Results showed that cell division was significantly inhibited after 48 hours of exposure to MWCNTs combined with NOM, whereas sonicated MWCNTs had less impact.
- Despite growth inhibition from MWCNT+NOM, all conditions (except the highest concentration) allowed for complete recovery after 6 days, and MWCNTs demonstrated a strong interaction with the diatom's protective extracellular substances.
MeHg biomagnification by the phantom midge Chaoborus in relation to MeHg concentrations in their prey and its migratory behavior was investigated in two Canadian Precambrian Shield lakes. Three Chaoborus species with contrasted migratory behavior were collected in a fishless and a fish-inhabited lake. All species accumulated MeHg through their ontogenic development.
