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.
