Abstract
Copper toxicity on the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum was ass essed after 24 hours of exposure, using different parameters: growth, C-14-bicarbonate assimilation, H-3-thymidine incorporation, photosynth etic pigment content, and others assayed by flow cytometry, such as ce llular volume, chlorophyll a autofluorescence and cell viability. Diff erent degrees of sensitivity were observed for the different analysis. Cell viability assayed by flow cytometry was the less sensitive param eter.
