• Ammonium Utilization in Microalgae: A Sustainable Method for Wastewater Treatment (2021, background): “For plant cells, the NH3 results are dangerous because it is uncharged and lipid soluble, and thus passes through biological membranes more easily than the ionized form NH4 [48].”
• Nitrogen removal techniques in aquaculture for a sustainable production (2007, background): “Although both NH3 and NH4 + may be toxic to fish, unionized ammonia is the more toxic form attributable to the fact that it is uncharged and lipid soluble and consequently traverses biological membranes more readily than the charged and hydrated NH4 + ions (Körner et al., 2001).”
• Moderate seawater acidification does not elicit long-term metabolic depression in the blue mussel Mytilus edulis (2010, background): “Ammonia (NH3) was not measured since its concentration is negligible (Körner et al. 2001).”
