Abstract

The effect of 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (diuron) and isopropyl m-chlorocarbanilate (chlorpropham) on in vivo levels of ATP in Chlorella sorokiniana Shihira and Krauss were compared. Diuron inhibited the photochemical, but not the oxidative, production of ATP, whereas chlorpropham inhibited both systems. Diuron equally inhibited growth and ATP synthesis, but chlorpropham had a stronger effect on ATP level than on growth.
