New hazard of an imbalance of species composition of marine phytoplankton under the effect of pollution by synthetic chemical pollutants
http://5bio5.blogspot.com/2012/09/new-of-imbalance-of-species-composition.html
This is a first publication to report both inhibitory and stimulation effects of a synthetic surfactant on two unique strains of the ocean species of cyanobacteria Synechococcus from the collection of WHOI. These data demonstrated a new hazard of an imbalance of species composition of marine phytoplankton under the effect of pollution by synthetic chemical pollutants.
The non-ionogenic synthetic surfactant Triton X-100 acted differently on two strains of cyanobacteria Synechococcus WH 7805 and Synechococcus WH 8103. Thus, 5 mg/liter of the surfactant inhibited the growth of the culture of strain 7805 and favored the growth of the culture of strain 8103. A lower concentration (0.5 mg/liter) stimulated the growth of both strains. The surfactant Triton X-100 produced no effect on the motility of strain 8103 cells.
