...On the other hand, ZnO NPs and microsize ZnO were of comparable toxicity for the above described organism groups [3] which may be due to significant release of Zn ions from ZnO particles (for review, see [4])....

...Toxicity of Ag NPs varies remarkably: analysis of the literature data (from [4]) showed that the data varied even within the same organism group: remarkable differences were 500-fold in the case of bacteria, 4240-fold in the case of algae and 275-fold in the case of mammalian cells in vitro....

...In addition, the toxicity mechanisms of NPs to these cell types are supposedly different, because mammalian cells internalize NPs and bacteria are more ‘resistant’ to the intracellularization of NPs, although some researchers have reported the penetration of NPs also into bacterial cells (Morones et al. 2005; McQuillan et al. 2012)....
