Abstract
The effect of copper at concentrations of 10, 20, and 50 μg/L on population growth, chlorophyll a fluorescence, and content of photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a and carotenoids) of the diatom Thalassiosira nordenskioeldii was studied. It was shown that at metal concentrations of 10 and 20 μg/L, the cell number started to increase from the first days of the experiment and, by the end of the experiment, exceeded that in the control group by 5.8- and 5.6 times, respectively. The intensity of chlorophyll a fluorescence and the content of photosynthetic pigments under these conditions were higher than in the control throughout the experiment. At a metal concentration of 50 μg/L, the growth of the cell population was inhibited at the beginning of the experiment; by the end of the experiment, the cell number exceeded that in control. The same pattern was recorded for the other parameters too. Based on the obtained data, it is hypothesized that copper at the studied concentrations may contribute to the proliferation of T. nordenskioeldii in the natural environment.
期刊介绍：
The Russian Journal of Marine Biology was founded in 1975 by Alexey V. Zhirmunsky, member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The Russian Journal of Marine Biology covers a wide range of research and some applied aspects of marine biology as a synthetic science related to various fields of study on marine biota and environment. It presents fundamental research on biological processes at molecular, cellular, organismal, and populational levels in marine organisms. Consideration is given to marine objects as models in life sciences. The journal also publishes papers dedicated to events in Russian and international marine biological science and the history of biology.
