Effect of fuel oil and dispersant on cell cycle and macromolecular synthesis in the chlorococcal alga Scenedesmus armatus

Growth and reproductive processes in synchronous cultures of the alga Scenedesmus armatus were followed in the presence of various concentrations of dispersant DP-105, oil and mixtures of oil and dispersant. The inhibition of protoplast fission was the most prominent effect of oil.
