ABSTRACT
The subjects of investigation were typical representatives of the main trophic levels and large taxa from prokaryotes to eukaryotes including cyanobacteria (Synechococcus Näg.; Stratonostoc linckia (Roth) Elenk., f. muscorum (Ag.) Elenk. = Nostoc muscorum Ag., and others), marine bacteria (Hyphomonas (ex Pongratz 1957) Moore, Weiner and Gebers 1984), green algae (Scenedesmus quadricauda Bréb., Chlorella vilgaris Beijer, Bracteacoccus minor (Chodat) Petrova, and others) diatomic algae (Thalassiosira pseudonana Hasle et Heimdal), euglena (Euglena Ehr.; Euglena gracilis Klebs), mollusks (Unio tumidus Philipsson s. lato, U. pictorum (L.) s. lato, Crassiana crassa (Philipsson) s. lato, Anodonta cygnea (L.) s. lato, Mytilus edulis L., M. galloprovincialis Lamarck, Crassostrea gigas Thunberg, Limnaea stagnalis (L.), Mercenaria mercenaria), annelids (Hirudo medicinalis L.), macrophytes (Pistia stratiotes L., Elodea canadensis Michaux), seedlings of angiosperm plants (Sinapis alba L., Fagopyrum esculentum Moench, Lepidium sativum L., Oryza sativa L., Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz, Triticum aestivum L., and others). These objects were of theoretical and practical interest due to the details of their ecology, their role in the ecosystems, and the possibility of their use as biological resources. Diverse biological material made it possible to obtain broader and more substantiated conclusions on the possible role of synthetic surfactants as pollutants.
