Toxicity of paraquat to a green alga: Scenedesmus acutus

An algal toxicity test was conducted to evaluate the toxic effects on a freshwater alga of increasing concentrations of the herbicide paraquat upon growth, chlorophyll and protein content. Paraquat, a widely used herbicide, was found highly toxic to Scenedesmus acutus. Growth pattern, as well as gro...
