| Popis: | The impact of acetone, methanol, ethanol and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as carrier solvents on two species of algae was investigated. Scenedesmus quadricauda of green algae and Anabaena flos‐aquae of blue green algae were subjected to different concentrations of the studied solvents which ranged from 0.01 to 7.29 mL/L for 10 days in batch studies. The data recommended the use of acetone, ethanol and methanol than dimethyl sulfoxide in this order as a carrier solvent for chemical toxicity tests using a maximum concentration of 7.29 mL/L which represents 0.729% (volume/volume) in the algal bioassay test. |
