The blue-green alga Agmenellum quadruplicatum (strain PR6) was very sensitive to aniline and p-toluidine (potential environmental toxicants) in an algal lawn assay (the growth of the algal lawn was inhibited with as little as 1 microgram of p-toluidine per disk). Assays with seven other species of blue-green algae showed that they had varying sensitivities ranging from 1 to 100 micrograms of p-toluidine. Under comparable conditions, 0.5 milligram or more of p-toluidine was needed to inhibit a green alga, a diatom, or two species of bacteria. p-Toluidine had no immediate effect on the photosynthesis or respiration of A. quadruplicatum, although growth was arrested and viability declined.
在藻类平板试验中，蓝绿藻四聚顶丝藻（菌株PR6）对苯胺和对甲苯胺（潜在的环境毒物）非常敏感（每片平板中低至1微克的对甲苯胺就能抑制藻类平板的生长）。对其他七种蓝绿藻的试验表明，它们的敏感性各不相同，对甲苯胺的耐受范围为1至100微克。在可比条件下，抑制一种绿藻、一种硅藻或两种细菌需要0.5毫克或更多的对甲苯胺。对甲苯胺对四聚顶丝藻的光合作用或呼吸作用没有直接影响，尽管其生长停止且活力下降。
