Scheme 1

(a) Schematic illustration of the optimized protocol for alginic acid (AA)-aided dispersion of carbonaceous and boron nitride nanomaterials (NMs) in Nanopure water by ultrasonication; (b) For toxicity testing, the AA-dispersed NM stock in Nanopure water can be diluted into microbiological medium. To avoid dilution of the medium, the AA-dispersed NM stock in Nanopure water is mixed with an equal volume of 2× concentrated medium prior to further diluting in the respective medium.
