Abstract

Changes in the specific growth rate, as well as fluorescent, cytometric, and morphological parameters of the green microalgae Dunaliella salina, have been evaluated in the presence of Cu2+ ions (0–3750 µg/L) in a cultivation medium. The growth rate has been found to be the most sensitive to the copper presence; it decreases at copper concentrations above 150 µg/L, while an increase in the pollutant content to 1500 µg/L or higher results in the death of a microalgal culture. The number of algal cells at the stationary growth phase decreases as the copper content in the medium increases from 150 to 3750 µg/L. According to the results of this study, the efficiency of the algal photosynthetic apparatus is not affected by copper concentrations, which do not cause the death of the culture. A decrease in the values of the maximum fluorescence quantum yield, nonphotochemical quenching, and the maximum relative electron transport rate below the optimal values can be used as an indicator of the lethal impact of the studied pollutant on D. salina. Copper concentrations in the medium equal to 750 µg/L or higher cause the following effects: an increase in cell volume, an increase in the number of spherical cells, plasmalemma deformation and perforation, the predominance of deformed cells of an irregular shape, and a double reduction in the intracellular content of chlorophyll a and the specific yield of fluorescence for chlorophyll a (μg/L).
