Abstract
<p>The fate of fullerene water suspension (FWS) in an aquatic system of Ceratophyllum sp., a rootless submerged plant, under non-sterile sediment-free conditions was investigated. Fast removal of FWS from water by the plants was observed and irreversible adsorption of C-60 onto plants and increasing C-60 mass on the plant surface with prolonged exposure durations were confirmed. An intact plant extraction procedure was developed and the majority (>80%) of C-60 removed from water was extracted from the plants. C-60 remained aggregated after being associated with the plants, which was verified by C-13 NMR spectroscopy. Light micrographs showed association of FWS on and in the cuticle layers.
