THE AFFECT OF NUTRIENTS OVER ECOTOXICOLOGICAL RESPONSES OF AQUATIC SPECIES (CANDIDA ALBICANS AND PHAEODACTYLUM TRICORNUTUM)
Abstract
The study shows a primary evaluation of the effect of nutrient loads and toxicant exposure on cell growth of aquatic species comparing results obtained by a well-standardized test on algal species (Phaeodactylum tricornutum) and yeast, using a recent specie of ecotoxicological interest (Candida albicans). Results obtained suggest a significant effect due to nutrient loads on cells grown in both species affecting the toxicity of the tested chemical. Furthermore, yeast responses are faster and comparable to results obtained on algae species.
