Pertumbuhan Mikroalga Chlamydomonas dalam Medium Beneck dan Air Tanah yang Mengandung Insektisida Berbahan Aktif Klorpirifos

Abstract

The research of insecticide effect to the growth of genus Chlamydomonas had been done. Research was experimental study with block random design to 9 concentrations of chlorpiriphos containing insecticide in Beneck and soil water media i.e. 0 (control), 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25, 0.30, 0.35, and 0.40%. Observations were done for 35 days. Friedman test showed that there were some effects of media and insecticide concentrations on cell numbers of Chlamydomonas (cell/ml) in culture (p>0.05). Dunnets test showed that mean of cell numbers of Chlamydomonas (cell/ml) differ (on p>0.05) and very differ (on p>0.01) on every concentrations in Beneck and soil water media. Insecticide could reduced the cell size of Chlamydomonas, yet increased the number of cells on 0.05--0.30% concentrations in Beneck medium, and 0.05--0.20% concentrations in soil water medium. On peak culture, insecticide with 0.10% concentration produced the highest cell numbers i.e. 21,179,167 cell/ml in Beneck medium, and 4,087,500 cell/ml in soil water medium.
