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 ...
Astaxanthin Production in Cysts and Vegetative Cells of the Microalga Haematococcus Pluvialis Flotow

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 ...
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 ...
Atrazine induced changes in elemental and biochemical composition and nitrate reductase activity in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
Herbicides play an important role in agricultural practices but the introduction of these compounds into the aquatic environment can have severe consequences for non-target organisms such as microalgae. The ubiquitous green ...
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. ...
Use of Microalgae as Biological Indicators of Pollution: Looking for New Relevant Cytotoxicity Endpoints
(Nova Science Publishers, 2012)
An important amount of the applied load of pesticides enter into aquatic ecosystems from agricultural runoff or leaching and, as a consequence, have become some of the organic pollutants that appear most frequently on ...
