The treatment of green algae Chlorococcum lobatum with the herbicide BASTA containing phosphinothricin lead to a significant decrease in the level of peak M2 of the chlorophyll fluorescence induction curve. This agrees with the suggestion that glutamine synthetase activity affects this region of the induction curve.

Additional key words: Chlorococcum lobatum; green algae; herbicide BASTA
