Cytotoxic effects of pesticides on microalgae determined by flow cytometry
(Nova Science Publishers, 2009)
As much as ca. 99.7% of the applied load of pesticides is dispersed in the environment, not reaching the target pests. In this way, pesticides enter into aquatic ecosystems from agricultural runoff or leaching and, as a ...
Dunaliella salina as marine microalga highly tolerant to but a poor remover of cadmium
(2009-06)
[Abstract]Cadmium tolerance and removal in the marine microalga Dunaliella salina were studied in cultures exposed to different metal concentrations (5–120 mg Cd l−1) for 96 h. This microalga can be included in the group ...
Use of the Comet Assay to Evaluate Pesticide Toxicity on Non-Target Microalgae
(Nova Science Publishers, 2009)
Aquatic environments are often contaminated with numerous organic and inorganic compounds. More than 90% of the applied load of pesticides is dispersed in the environment, reaching non-target species of these aquatic ...
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. ...
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. ...
Cell proliferation alterations in Chlorella cells under stress conditions
(2009-09)
[Abstract]Very little is known about growth and proliferation in relation to the cell cycle regulation of algae. The lack of knowledge is even greater when referring to the potential toxic effects of pollutants on microalgal ...
