Assessment of oxidative balance in hydrophilic cellular environment in Chlorella vulgaris exposed to glyphosate.

The studied hypothesis is that glyphosate (GLY) can affect the oxidative balance in the hydrophilic intracellular medium in non-target Chlorella vulgaris cells. Analytical GLY (5 μM) and a commercial product (RUP) (5 μM) supplementation, did not affect the growth profile. Neither in latent (Lag) nor in exponential (Exp) phase of development, there were significant differences in the cellular abundance, evaluated as cell number, after the supplementation with GLY or RUP.
