- Abstract
Effects of copper at concentrations of 0.13 and 0.25 mg/l on content of photosynthetic pigments, growth, size characteristics, and cell shape of Phaeodactylum tricornutum (Bacillariophyta) microalga were studied. The inhibitory effect of copper on growth parameters was shown to become stronger with increasing concentration of copper in the growth medium. In spite of considerable retardation of cell growth, the concentrations examined had no effect on the content of photosynthetic pigments though affected some morphometric parameters.
