چکیده

In the current study, the effect of different silicon dioxide nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) concentrations was investigated on biomass yield, chlorophyll (Chl a) pigment, antioxidant enzymes, and defence metabolites of Spirulina platensis alga. The alga sample was cultured in the Zarrouk medium supplemented with various SiO2 NPS concentrations (0, 50, 100, ...
