β¦ Synopsis
Two unicellular and two filamentous cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) were exposed under conditions optimal for photoautotrophic growth t o eleven pesticides. Low concentrations (0.01 to 5 ppm) of diuron, atrazine, and paraquat inhibited growth. With MCPA, MCPP, 2,4-D, milstem and ethrel, marked inhibitory effects were achieved only a t concentrations above 100 ppm. Growth was inhibited by glyphosate, DDT, and thiram a t intermediate concentrations. I n some cases, the effective concentration of the pesticide varied considerably with the organism tested.
