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 ...
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 ...
Effect of cadmium on growth, ATP content, carbon fixation and ultrastructure in the marine diatom Phaeodactylum Tricornutum Bohlin
(Springer, 2000-01)
Cadmium toxicity to the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin has been studied on the basis of the effect of this metal on growth, ATP content, 14C uptake and cellular ultrastructure. The microalga was exposed to 1, 5, ...
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 ...
Long-chain class III metallothioneins as a mechanism of cadmium tolerance in the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin
(1997-11)
Cadmium tolerance of the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin was studied. P. tricornutum growth was significantly reduced by cadmium concentrations of 5 mg l−1 or higher. The EC50 value was 22.39 mg l−1 of cadmium ...
Screening acute cytotoxicity biomarkers using a microalga as test organism
(Elsevier, 2012-12)
The present study checked the suitability of the integration of flow cytometry (FCM) as technique and a freshwater microalga (Chlamydomonas moewusii) as cell system model for ecotoxicological studies, looking for sensitive ...
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 assay to assess short-term effects of personal care products on the marine microalga Tetraselmis suecica
(Elsevier, 2017)
[Abstract] Large quantities of personal care products (PCPs) are used daily and many of their chemical ingredients are subsequently released into marine environments. Cultures of the marine microalga Tetraselmis suecica ...
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. ...
