[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 ...

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 ...

An optimization strategy for the separation and analysis of class III metallothioneins from a complex matrix by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) is presented and illustrated. Metallothioneins are a group of polypeptides ...

The effects of three organic compounds were tested on one of the most used marine micro-algae in the aquaculture of molluscs and crustaceans, Tetraselmis suecica. Studies were made in axenic conditions with yeast extract, ...

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 ...

The use of the commercial nutrient Algal-1 was studied in mass cultures of the marine microalgaeTetraselmis suecica, Dunaliella tertiolecta, Isochrysis galbana and Phaeodactylum tricornutum, in comparison with the use of ...

[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 ...

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, ...

[Abstract] Variations in the biochemical profile of the marine microalga Dunaliella tertiolecta (Butcher) cultured with different nutrient concentrations and urea as a nitrogen source. Cultures of the marine microalga ...
