Effect of lindane on the growth and metabolic activities of cyanobacteria

G Suresh Babu et al. Ecotoxicol Environ Saf. 2001 Feb.

Abstract

The effect of lindane was studied in Cyanobacteria (Anabaena) by estimating its growth pattern, biomass yield, chlorophyll content, and total starch and protein content. The results reveal that exposure of Anabaena with 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 ppm levels of lindane will have drastic effects on biomass production and photosynthetic rate. Since Cyanobacteria are a primary source of aquatic food web and important biofertilizer for rice cultivation, their protection from residual effects of lindane is essential for enriched soil fertility.
