Lv. Ilyash et al., EFFECT OF CADMIUM ON DYNAMICS OF BIOMASS OF MARINE PLANKTON ALGAE WITH DIFFERENT LIFE STRATEGIES, Izvestia Akademii nauk SSSR. Seria biologiceskaa, (5), 1997, pp. 623-628
Biomass dynamics of cultures of marine microalgae Prorocentrum micans,
Platymonas viridis and Skeletonema costatum was studied in the presen
ce of cadmium at 1-100 (g/ml. Algae with different life strategies had
a different survival rate in the presence of the toxicant. Maintenanc
e of the growth of S. costatum explerent was due to physiological adap
tation of P. viridis violent and P. micas patient to physiological ada
ptation and selection of resistant individuals.
