Abstract
⺠Tetrahymena thermophila was exposed to TiO2 particles at sub-toxic concentrations. ⺠Exposure to TiO2 particles resulted in changed cell membrane in fatty acid profile resulting in increased membrane rigidity. ⺠Altered cell membrane composition is not accompanied by lipid peroxidation or ROS elevation. ⺠Particles were detected in food vacuoles where filling and subsequent release was followed.
