Abstract excerpt
We used Au nanoparticles (Au-NPs) as a model for studying particle-specific effects of manufactured nanomaterials (MNMs) by examining the toxicogenomic responses in a model soil organism, Caenorhabditis elegans . Global genome expression for nematodes exposed to 4-nm citrate-coated Au-NPs at the LC(10) level (5.9 mg·L(-1)) revealed significant differential expression of 797 genes. The levels of expression for...
