microbial diversity of zebrafish gut following exposure to perovskite nanoparticles

Lead-halide perovskite nanoparticles is a new technology with high potential and the investigation of toxicity of lead-halide perovskite nanoparticles is critical due to the potential of lead (Pb) dissolution in the aqueous phase.The aim of the study was to evaluate Pb-halide perovskite nanoparticle toxicity and to investigate whether the toxicity can be attributed to Pb ion dissolution.Lead toxicity was evaluated by Pb bioavailability and disruption of gut microbiota [16S rRNA DNA sequencing (MiSeq)].
