Unialgal cultures of Anabaena flos-aquae were exposed to toxicants and assayed for growth, as measured by the maximum standing crop. Toxicant degradation was measured by spectrofluorometry. Data show that the hydrophilic compounds tested (acenaphthene, naphthalene) stimulated growth in marked contrast to the growth-inhibiting hydrophobic polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons.
