- Abstract
The article presents a study on the effects of carbamate herbicide benthiocarb and organophosphate insecticide methylparathion on Nostoc muscorum's nitrogen fixation, protease and nucleases activities, growth, and chlorophyll a content. The study used a pure culture with components including Nostoc muscorum, methylparathion, and benthiocarb which was analyzed by a gas chromatograph. Results showed that benthiocarb has significant effects to the cyanobacteria than methylparathion.
