Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) has been proposed as a safer and more sustainable alternative for AgNP production. However, limited information exists on the toxicity mechanisms and accumulation of green -synthesized AgNP. In this study, we used AgNP synthesized with Amazonian açaí (Bio-AgNP) to evaluate their accumulation and biochemical effects in Caenorhabditis elegans . Bio-AgNP were synthesized using aqueou...

Caenorhabditis elegans is widely used in nanotoxicology studies involving silver nanoparticles (AgNP). However, variations in test media composition can influence AgNP toxicity in worms, complicating cross-study comparisons. This study evaluated the effects of six commonly used media: M9 buffer, K-medium, S-basal, EPA water, Nematode Growth Medium agar (NGM), and “Biofilm” (a combination of NGM and EPA water) on biological res...
