Abstract

The stress effect of endocrine-disrupting compounds nonylphenol and octylphenol on Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, the dominant representatives of cyanobacteria in freshwater bodies and seas during their “blooming,” was studied. Alkylphenols cause morphological and ultrastructural changes in Aphanizomenon flos-aquae cells. Inhibition of A. flos-aquae growth under the impact of alkylphenols is accompanied by development of oxidative stress in cyanobacterial cells. Adaptation of A. flos-aquae to alkylphenol-induced stress includes changes in the synthesis of the main photosynthetic pigments and enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidants. The ability of A. flos-aquae to degrade alkylphenols effectively was demonstrated for the first time.
