Use of Unicellular Algae for Evaluation of Potential Aquatic Contaminants

Abstract

Selenastrum capricornutum was used as a test alga to determine the toxic and/or biostimulating effect of lubrication additives, and hydrazines in aquatic environments. Standard batch and continuous culture procedures were used. The results show the relative and absolute toxicity under standard laboratory conditions of the compounds tested.
