3、 of nano-TiO2 on aquatic ecosystem have attracted more and more attention. Cell surface of aquatic organisms constitutes a primary site for the interaction and a barrier for the nano-TiO2 biological effects. In the present study, the biological effects of nano-TiO2 on a unicellular green algae Chlam
4、ydomonas reinhardtii were studied by observing the changes of the cell surface morphology and functional groups under UV or natural light. By SEM, the cell surface morphology of C. reinhardtii was changed under UV light, nano-TiO2 with UV light or natural light, which indicated that photocatalysis d

The ATR-FTIR spectra showed that the peaks of functional groups such as C-N, -C=O, -C-O-C and P=O, which were the important components of cell wall and membrane, all depressed by the photocatalysis of n

The photocatalysis of nano-TiO2 promoted peroxidation of functional groups on the surface of C. reinhardtii cells, which led to the damages of cell wall and membrane.

Biological effect characterizations of C. reinhardtii exposed to nano-TiO2 included growth inhibition, photosynthesis inhibition, ROS generation, lipid peroxidation stress, stress response genes high expression and new protein synthesis 15-18. As
14、we know, algae cell surface constitutes a primary site for interaction and a barrier for the entrance of nanoparticles. However, the effects of nano-TiO2 on C. reinhardtii cell surface are not clear, and the effect mechanisms of nano-TiO2 on cell walls and membranes are as yet poorly understood 19.
15、The present work aimed to determine the effects of nano-TiO2 under UV, natural light conditions on C. reinhardtii cell surface by observing the changes of cell morphology, cell surface function groups.2 Experimental2.1 MaterialsDegussa P25 provided by Shenshi Chem was used in this study.
