Abstract

V originále

The worldwide decline in amphibian populations was linked to number of various factors including pollution, and some previous experimental studies documented toxic effects of cyanobacteria on frog development. However, no information is available about the effects of cyanobacterial blooms on the decline of amphibians in water bodies. But the coincidence of the high cyanotoxin concentrations in the cyanobacterial blooms and the developing early life-stage amphibians in the shallow littoral zone of surface waters makes the connection more likely. In the present study, we have studied toxic effects of several laboratory cultures of cyanobacteria (Aphanizomenon klebahnii, Aphanizomenon gracile and Microcystis aeruginosa with the MCs content about 2000 microg/g DW) and green alga (Scenedesmus quadricauda and Chlorella kessleri) on the development of Xenopus laevis using standardized FETAX.
