Journal: Toxicological Review
Year: 2023

Introduction. Pollution of marine coastal areas lead to the relevance of environmental monitoring including application of biotesting methods based on- the cultures of unicellular algae. Microalgae have different species-specific resistance to pollutants that expands application of different species as bioindicators of marine pollution. The aim of the study was to determine the threshold concentration of copper ions (Cu2+) for the survival and increase in the cells number of benthic diatom Actin
