Table 4. Toxicity (EC50, MBC or LOEC) values of nanomaterials expressed in a heat map.
*The toxicity of Au NMs to V. fischeri was due to acidic pH; **Jemec et al., 2016; ***Aruoja et al., 2009; ****Zou et al., 2012 . AO/EB, acridine orange/ethidium bromide; LB, Luria–Bertani; LOEC, lowest observed effect concentration; MBC, minimal bactericidal concentration; n.d, not determined; PI, propidium iodide.
