Abstract
The toxicity of two linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) homologues (C(10) and C(13)) was evaluated in four marine microalgae (Nannochloropsis gaditana, Tetraselmis suecica, Rhodomonas salina, and Isocrysis galbana), using growth inhibition rate and esterase activity (measured by flow cytometry) as endpoints. The inhibitor effect was higher for the C(13) LAS homologue than for C(11), in both responses analyzed. When both endpoints were compared, the growth inhibition rate was between 2 and 5 times more sensitive than esterase activity. Among microalgae species, R. salina exhibited the highest sensitivity.
