Physiological response of freshwater microalga (Chlorella vulgaris) to triazine and phenylurea herbicides
(2002-09)
[Abstract]The effects of two herbicides used wide-spread, isoproturon (phenylurea) and terbutryn (triazine), on growth, dry weight, elemental composition, photosynthetic pigments and protein content, and cell volume assayed ...
Atrazine-Induced Chlorosis in Synechococcus elongatus Cells
(Springer, 2004)
The effects of a widely used herbicide, atrazine, on the freshwater cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus were studied. The cyanobacteria were exposed to varying concentrations of atrazine (0.025, 0.05, 0.1, 0.25, and ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
Removal of triazine herbicides from freshwater systems using photosynthetic microorganisms
(2006-11)
[Abstract]The uptake of the triazine herbicides, atrazine and terbutryn, was determined for two freshwater photosynthetic microorganisms, the green microalga Chlorella vulgaris and the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus. ...
Microalgal Bioassays as a Test of Pesticide Photodegradation Efficiency in Water
(Springer, 2001-08)
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 ...
