Summary

Nanoplastics affected the mixotrophic microalgae Poterioochromonas malhamensis in ways that depended on particle concentration, size, and the surrounding water chemistry. Notably, particle aggregation behavior was the most important factor determining how harmful nanoplastics were to these algae.

Biological responses of nanoplastics (NPLs) to microalgae P. malhamensis were concentration, size and medium-dependent. The aggregation behavior is the most influential factor controlling the biological effects of NPLs in culture medium and environmental natural waters.
