Silver nanoparticles: behaviour and effects in the aquatic environment. (2011, background): “Indeed, initial results have shown a size and shape dependent interaction with prokaryotic organisms, with small (b10 nm) and truncated Ag NPs being the particles most likely to be taken up by microorganisms and affect cellular viability (Choi et al., 2008; Choi and Hu, 2008; Morones et al., 2005; S”
