A Comparison of the Relative Sensitivity of Structural and Functional Cellular Responses in the Alga Chlamydomonas eugametos Exposed to the Herbicide Paraquat
(Springer, 1999-04)
The effect of the herbicide paraquat on the freshwater microalga Chlamydomonas eugametos was studied in function of different parameters such as growth, elemental composition, total lipids, and photosynthetic pigments ...
Response of the marine microalga Dunaliella tertiolecta (Chlorophyceae) to copper toxicity in short time experiments
(Springer, 1995-02)
Heavy metals are introduced into aquatic ecosystems from industrial wastes, agricultural runoff and mining activities. The toxicity of heavy metal ions in solution to microalgae is well known. The essentiality and toxicity ...
Tolerance and detoxification mechanisms in marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum exposed to cadmium
(Springer, 1995)
Tolerance is one of the most important mechanisms for survival. Organisms living in polluted environments with heavy metals develop tolerance to these contaminants; this tolerance has been attributed to the ability to ...
Toxic action of copper on the membrane system of a marine diatom measured by flow cytometry
(WILEY-Liss, 1996-09)
Flow cytometric measurements were used to investigate the toxic action of copper on some Phaeodactylum tricornutum membrane systems. Throughout the time of metal exposure, the percentage of viable cells decreased as copper ...
