摘要： The toxicity of microplastics (MPs) on freshwater plants has been widely studied, yet the influence of aged MPs remains largely unexplored. Herein, we investigated the influence of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) MPs, both before and after aging, at different environmentally relevant concentrations on Chlorella pyrenoidosa, a freshwater microalgae species widely recognized as a valuable biomass resource. During a 96-h period, both virgin and aged MPs hindered the growth of C. pyrenoidosa. The maximum growth inhibition rates were 32.40 % for virgin PVC at 250 mg/L and 44.72 % for aged PVC at 100 mg/L, respectively. Microalgae intracellular materials, i.e., protein and carbohydrate contents, consistently decreased after MP exposure, with more pronounced inhibition observed with aged PVC. Meanwhile, the MP aging significantly promoted the nitrogen uptake of C. pyrenoidosa, i.e., 1693.45 +/- 42.29 mg/L (p < 0.01), contributing to the production of humic acid -like substances. Additionally, aged PVC induced lower chlorophyll a and Fv/Fm when compared to virgin PVC, suggesting a more serious inhibition of the photosynthesis process of microalgae. The toxicity of MPs to C. pyrenoidosa was strongly associated with intercellular oxidative stress levels. The results indicate that MP aging exacerbates the damage to photosynthetic performance and bioenergy production in microalgae, providing critical insights into the toxicity analysis of micro(nano)plastics on freshwater plants.
