摘要
The effects of three groups of chemicals, 'heavy' metals, pesticides and phenolics, on alkaline phosphatase activity of intact Chlorella vulgaris cells were investigated. There was a marked inhibitory effect of heavy metals and a slight one due to phenolics, but the pesticides tested showed no effect. In order to detect heavy metals in freshwater ecosystems, we propose a dialysis system, which can be placed in the field and then provide early warning signals of toxicity. This phosphatase inhibition test is recommended the first stage of an enzymatic screening system for chemical pollution in water.
