Phytoplankton differential sensitivity to pesticide stress: Predicting vulnerability and identifying response mechanisms in freshwater algae exposed to the insecticide fenitrothion.
Axenic batch cultures of twelve freshwater phytoplankton species were used to study the molecular, cellular and population effects of the organophosphorus insecticide fenitrothion (O,O-Dimethyl-O-nitro-m-tolyl phosphorothioate) on algae. The unicellular chlorophytes Ankistrodesmus falcatus, Chlamydo...
