Abstract
It was investigated an influence of K2Cr2O7 on photosynthetic activity and cells mobility for green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Dang. It was established that even at low concentrations of K2Cr2O7 cells of green algae are sensitive to its effect. Also it was determined lethal and sublethal concentrations of K2Cr2O7 for Ch. reinhardtii cells.
Keywords: Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, K2Cr2O7, potassium bichromate, quantity, chlorophyll a concentration, photosynthetic activity, mobility, energy consumption
