Abstract
Inhibition of photosynthetic O2 evolution of algal cells by phenol herbicides (e. g. ioxynil, di-iodonitrophenol, dinitrothymol) and dibromothymoquinone is reversed during treatment within one or two hours. Addition of the same or related inhibitory phenolic compounds as well as of dibromothymoquinone in higher concentrations to these pretreated algae causes no inhibitory effect. The cells become temporarily resistant to these inhibitors. Algal cells pretreated with phenol herbicides are still sensitive to diuron and representatives of some other groups of herbicides. After treatment with dibromothymoquinone, however, the sensitivity of cells to diuron is lowered.Keywords
