  • Title: The effect of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid on growth and nitrogen-fixation of blue-green alga Anabaenopsis raciborskii.
    Author: Das B, Singh PK.
    Journal: Arch Environ Contam Toxicol; 1977; 5(4):437-45. PubMed ID: 407848.
    Abstract:
    Sodium salt of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (80% active ingredient), commonly applied for the control of aquatic weeds, was used to observe its effect on the growth and nitrogen fixation of a heterocystous bloom forming blue-green alga Anabaenopsis raciborskii. A concentration of 10 microgram per ml of 2,4-D showed stimulation of growth and nitrogen fixation and these were almost unaffected in presence of its 100 microgram per ml in the medium. The alga could tolerate up to 800 microgram per ml in liquid culture media with and without nitrate nitrogen and up to 90 microgram per ml on to agar plates. Nitrogen fixation was inhibited in presence of its higher concentrations.
