  • Title: Selective inhibitory potential of silver nanoparticles on the harmful cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa.
    Author: Park MH, Kim KH, Lee HH, Kim JS, Hwang SJ.
    Journal: Biotechnol Lett; 2010 Mar; 32(3):423-8. PubMed ID: 19898749.
    Abstract:
    Silver nanoparticles (SNPs) at 1 mg/l inhibited the growth of the toxic cyanobacterium, Microcystis aeruginosa, by 87%. Similar results were obtained in field experiments. M. aeruginosa was more sensitive to SNPs than were green algae. SNPs may be a useful selective biocidal agent for the control of M. aeruginosa.
