title: [Effect of silver nanoparticles on the parameters of chlorophyll fluorescence and P700 reaction in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii].
abstract: Acute toxicity of silver nanoparticle (AgNP) for photosynthesis in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was studied using an M-PEA2 fluorimeter. Analysis of the fluorescence induction curves in the presence of AgNP at low concentrations revealed inhibited electron transport in the PS2 photosystem and increased content of Q(B)-nonreducing centers. No direct effect of AgNP on the reactions of P700 oxidation in PS1 was found, while energization of the photosynthetic membranes was affected. Investigation of the parameters of the prompt and delayed fluorescence is proposed as a method for early detection of AgNP in the environment.
