The effects of organotin compounds on growth, respiration rate, and chlorophyll a content of Scenedesmus quadricauda.
The inhibitory effect of 12 organotins in a four concentrations (0.001, 0.01, 0.1, and 1.0 mg/liter) of a 12-day growth and on the respiration rate and chlorophyll a content in 9-day tests were determined for the freshwater algae Scenedesmus quadricauda. Tested organotin compounds belonged to di-R2SnX2 (R:methyl, butyl) and triorganotins R3SnX (R:phenyl, benzyl, butyl).
