Summary

Physiological and proteomic analysis of microalgae exposed to polystyrene nanoplastics and PAMAM dendrimers singly and combined revealed novel toxicity mechanisms including protein expression changes and identified potential biomarkers for nanopolymer exposure in aquatic primary producers.

Polymers

This study reveals novel mechanisms and potential biomarkers of nanopolymer toxicity (polystyrene nanoplastics and PAMAM dendrimers) singly and in combination in a relevant aquatic primary producer, essential for sustaining the food chain.
