| The herbicide bentazon (CASRN 25057-89-0) is extensively used in agriculture in Brittany (France) to replace atrazine. Bentazon is not readily adsorbed by soil and therefore it enters adjacent freshwater ecosystems, making its way to estuarine and marine waters areas. Information regarding its effects on marine ecosystems is scarce. Phytotoxicity assessments were conducted in the laboratory on the common diatom Chaetoceros gracilis using both the active ingredient and its formulated product (Basamais). The 3 day EC50 Using cell counts were, respectively, 150 mg/L and 60 mu g/L for bentazon active ingredient and for bentazon-formulated while cellular volume was increased. Although bentazon is known as a photosystem II inhibitor, it produced an increase of... |

| The purpose of this study was to determine the chemical composition of Chaetoceros gracilis, Cylindrotheca closterium and Tetraselmis gracilis, species frequently used as food for aquaculture in the northeast of Brazil. The species were grown in f/2 medium, in carboys, aerated from one liter, with constant illumination and analyses were made in late exponential growth phase. Cellular density (8,447 x 10 6 cell.L-1), soluble carbohydrates (0.10±0.01 mg.L-1) and magnesium (14.78±0.08 mg.L-1) were the highest in C. gracilis. C . closterium had the highest amount of chlorophyll a (13.76±1.11 mg.L-1), soluble proteins (0.62±0.04 mg.L-1), total amino acids (23.82±0.84 mg .L-1), nitrate (0.36±0.02 mg.L-1), sodium (0.46±0.05 mg.L-1) and phosphorus (2.80±0.38... |
