Abstract
Worldwide used glyphosate-based organophosphorus herbicides may be potential phosphorus sources for phytoplankton in coastal waters. In this study, the changes in growth, fluorescent and cytometric parameters of the potentially toxic dinophytic algae Prorocentrum cordatum under the influence of glyphosate of different concentrations were investigated. The effect of glyphosate on the growth dynamics of P. cordatum under conditions of availability and deficiency of inorganic phosphorus in the medium is estimated. Results showed that P. cordatum could grow due to glyphosate as the only source of phosphorus. The final density of the culture was higher than that of the control (without glyphosate) by 22–136% depending on the applied herbicide concentration. Glyphosate stimulated the growth of microalgae, which was observed in increasing the efficiency of the photosynthetic apparatus of cells and their enzymatic (esterase) activity. P. cordatum used glyphosate as a source of phosphorus only when there was a deficiency in inorganic phosphorus, but it was also susceptible to the herbicide when there was inorganic phosphorus present in the medium. An increase of glyphosate concentration in coastal waters may lead to a change in the species structure of natural biocenoses and increase in the number of potentially harmful species.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology provides a forum for experimental ecological research on marine organisms in relation to their environment. Topic areas include studies that focus on biochemistry, physiology, behavior, genetics, and ecological theory. The main emphasis of the Journal lies in hypothesis driven experimental work, both from the laboratory and the field. Natural experiments or descriptive studies that elucidate fundamental ecological processes are welcome. Submissions should have a broad ecological framework beyond the specific study organism or geographic region.
Short communications that highlight emerging issues and exciting discoveries within five printed pages will receive a rapid turnaround. Papers describing important new analytical, computational, experimental and theoretical techniques and methods are encouraged and will be highlighted as Methodological Advances. We welcome proposals for Review Papers synthesizing a specific field within marine ecology. Finally, the journal aims to publish Special Issues at regular intervals synthesizing a particular field of marine science. All printed papers undergo a peer review process before being accepted and will receive a first decision within three months.
