Grants and Contracts Details
Description
Once the grant is transferred to the University of Kentucky, we will continue our studies of
sublethal genomic responses in E.fetida, both at the transcriptome level and at the proteome level. We
will also continue to apply FFF-DLS-ICPMS, SXRF, and TEM to evaluate tissue, cellular and
macromolecular distribution of the particles. These efforts will complete the tests of Hypotheses I and II.
The next phase of research will begin to address hypothesis II from the original scope of work (Metal
NSPs do not biomagnifying regardless of particle size, but the particles are more bioaccumulative
through trophic exposure than they are through direct exposure). This will involve experiments
investigating uptake of nanoparticles by R. catesbeiana through dietary exposure and by oral gavage.
