Abstract
⺠Algal chlorophyll fluorescence Fv/Fm declines within minutes with toxin exposure. ⺠Fv/Fm suppression shows dose-dependence (Km are nanomolar range for PSII inhibitors). ⺠Fv/Fm suppression also shows concentration-dependence to toxins KCN and glyphosate. ⺠Effects of toxic pollutants can be effectively and rapidly detected using algal Fv/Fm. ⺠Field testing of natural communities will be complicated by taxon-specific responses.
