Surfactants, soil algae: first publication to report unique bioassay of synthetic surfactants using soil algae. Also, first publication to report juxtaposition of results of 3 methods of assessment of toxicity of chemical: methods that use (1) plant seedlings; (2) aquatic algae cultures; (3) soil algal cultures

This is a first publication to report a unique bioassay of synthetic surfactants using soil algae. Also, this is a first publication to report a juxtaposition of results of the three methods of assessment of toxicity of a chemical: the methods that use (1) plant seedlings; (2) aquatic algae cultures; (3) soil algal cultures.
Experiments investigating the effects of the cationic surface active compound tetradecyl trimethylammonium bromide (TDTMA) on a number of aquatic and soil algal cultures, and the seedlings of the higher plant Fagopyrum esculentum are described, and the results presented. It is concluded that future studies on the effects of pollutants on algae should involve the use of several test systems (both aquatic and soil algal cultures).

A short abstract: Experiments investigating the effects of the cationic surface active compound tetradecyl trimethylammonium bromide (TDTMA) on aquatic and soil algal cultures and the seedlings of Fagopyrum esculentum are described. The experimental results are presented. It is concluded that the future studies on the effects of pollutants on algae should involve the use of several test equations.
A more detailed abstract: The effects of environmental pollution with a cationic surface-active substance (surfactant tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide TDTMA) on certain cyanobacteria and algae were studied. The effects on cyanobacteria Nostoc muscorum Ag, strain 33 isolated from the soil in the Kirov Oblast (Region); and on green algae Bracteacoccus minor (Chodat) Petrova, strain 200 and strain 219 (the strain 219 was isolated from the volcanic ash collected next to Tyatya Volcano, the island of Kunashir) were investigated. Their sensitivity to the surfactant TDTMA was compared with the sensitivity of terrestrial plants. The algal experiments were performed with aquatic and soil cultures. The experiments with terrestrial plants used the earlier-developed method with the seedlings of Fagopyrum esculentum Moench. The experiments revealed a higher sensitivity of the test with the aquatic algal cultures.
