Effect of glyphosate on the growth, morphology, ultrastructure and metabolism of Scenedesmus vacuolatus
The effects of a commercial glyphosate formulation on the oxidative stress parameters and morphology (including the ultrastructure) of the phytoplanktonic green microalga Scenedesmus vacuolatus were evaluated. After 96 h of exposure to increasing herbicide concentrations (0, 4, 6, 8 mg L −1 active i...
