Abstract:The composition of lipids in algae are significantly influenced by environmental factors, including light intensity. Exposure to organic and inorganic contaminants can also disrupt the synthesis of fatty acids, changing the lipid composition of microalgae in periphytic communities. In this study, we looked at how a biocide such as dodecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride (BAC 12) and two photoperiod durations can affect a biofilm's polar lipidome in a microcosm experiment. The heterotrophic compartment appeared … Show more
