摘要: This study investigated if treatment of the lichen Xanthoria parietina (L.) Th. Fr. with glyphosate caused uptake this herbicide as well physiological alterations. Samples were treated Glifene SL®, a common commercial glyphosate-based herbicide, at lowest recommended doses (3.6g/L) slightly higher than highest suggested (36 g/L). The results clearly showed in X. proportionally to dose provided. Adverse effects evident on photosynthetic apparatus (photosynthetic efficiency, chlorophyll content, degradation) fungal respiration rates and cell membrane integrity (ergosterol dehydrogenase activity) already after 24h from treatment, also low application dose. It is concluded that lichens are suitable organisms for monitoring unwanted biological herbicides, detecting accumulation compound biota, thus screening its environmental fate.
