Chlorpyrifos (CPF), a widely used organophosphorus insecticide, is highly toxic to non-target aquatic organisms and has relatively high persistence in water, posing a serious threat to marine ecosystems. However, little is known about the toxicological mechanism of CPF on marine microalgae, which is the main primary producer in the marine ecosystem. This study explored the ion changes of microalgae Chlorella vulgaris under the stress of CPF through Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). Significant disparities in ionomics among control and treatment group were observed through pattern recognition analysis (principal component analysis, PCA; orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis, OPLS-DA), indicating that CPF may impede their growth by disrupting the homeostasis of crucial elements within algal cells.# Qingqing Yu and Yulong Zhang contributed equally to this work.
