Effect of Metals, Metalloids and Metallic Nanoparticles on Microalgae Growth and Industrial Product Biosynthesis: A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Microalgae are a source of numerous compounds that can be used in many branches of industry. Synthesis of such compounds in microalgal cells can be amplified under stress conditions. Exposure to various metals can be one of methods applied to induce cell stress and synthesis of target products in microalgae cultures. In this review, the potential of producing diverse biocompounds (pigments, lipids, exopolymers, peptides, phytohormones, arsenoorganics, nanoparticles) from microalgae cultures upon exposure to various metals, is evaluated. Additionally, different methods to alter microalgae response towards metals and metal stress are described. Finally, possibilities to sustain high growth rates and productivity of microalgal cultures in the presence of metals are discussed.

To assess the acute toxicity of colloidal silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in Nannochloropsis oculata, microalgal cells were exposed to different concentrations of AgNPs for 72 hours and according to OECD 201. Algal cell count was done every 24 hours and average specific growth rate, as well as percent inhibition of the average specific growth rate, were calculated for each concentration. Also, the...
