Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) including a mix of intact nanoparticle-Ag and 'free' Ag+ pose high risks to benthic photoautotrophs, but the photosynthetic responses of benthic microbial aggregates to AgNPs still remain largely unknown. Here, periphyton and Nostoc were used to elucidate the photosynthetic responses of benthic algae community to intact nanoparticle-Ag and Ag+. During exposure, both intact nanoparticle-Ag and Ag+ imposed negative effects on photosynthesis of benthic algae, but via different pathways. Specifically, Ag+ h
