With the increasing development in the field of nanotechnology and increased use of nanomaterials, there has been also increase in the release of Nanoparticles in the environment. These nanoparticles sometimes act as pollutants for living organisms. Due to release of these nanoparticles in the water bodies, they easily impact the aquatic organisms. Algae being the primary producers and acting as a food for higher aquatic animals, when encountered with nanoparticles, negatively affected by them or through biomagnifications, are directly or indirect become susceptible and also harmful for further food chain. Nanoparticles also hinder the growth of algae, thus providing less biomass. This review analyses the recent work done on the effect of different nanoparticles on the cellular structure of one of the most economically useful algae Chlorella spp.

Algae, Chlorella, Nanoparticles, nanomaterials, and pollutants.
