Alteration of photosynthesis related parameters of Chlamydomonas moewusii stressed by paraquat
(Research Trends, 2008)
Paraquat toxic action on the freshwater microalga Chlamydomonas moewusii was determined by several physiological parameters. ATP content seems to be the most sensitive parameter analyzed; it was reduced by the lowest ...
Comparison of the sensitivity of different toxicity test endpoints in a microalga exposed to the herbicide paraquat
(2009-02)
[Abstract]The use of herbicides constitutes the principal method of weed control but the introduction of these compounds into the aquatic environment can provoke severe consequences for non-target organisms such as microalgae. ...
Flow cytometric analysis to evaluate physiological alterations in herbicide-exposed Chlamydomonas moewusii cells
(Springer, 2012-03)
Investigation of herbicide toxicology in non-target aquatic primary producers such as microalgae is of great importance from an ecological point of view. In order to study the toxicity of the widely used herbicide paraquat ...
The herbicide paraquat induces alterations in the elemental and biochemical composition of non-target microalgal species
(2009-09)
[Abstract]Huge quantities of pesticides are dispersed in the environment, affecting non-target organisms. Since paraquat affects the photosynthetic process, the biochemical composition of affected species should be altered. ...
