Influence of azoxystrobin (AZ) on microalgae. a Growth inhibition of Chlorella pyrenoidosa and Microcystis aeruginosa grown in batch cultures over 2–7 days in the presence of 0.5, 2.5, or 5 mg L−1 initial AZ concentration. Chl-a (b) and phycocyanin (c) concentration in microcosms after a 3-day AZ exposure. d Dissolved AZ concentrations (nominal initial concentration = 2.5 mg L−1) in BG-11 medium, batch cultures of C. pyrenoidosa and M. aeruginosa, and in the microcosm over time. Asterisks (*) denote significant differences (p < 0.05) compared to the first column in panels b and c
