Abstract

This study deals with the effects of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) (0.1, 1, and 10 mg/l) on the growth dynamics and physiological state of the microalga Dunaliella salina Teod. (Chlorophyta). The effects of SDS increase with increasing concentration. At 10 mg/l, this toxicant significantly inhibited microalgal growth and led to a decrease in chlorophyll a and carotenoid contents.
