Table 2. DNA damage in Daphnia magna in response to phosmet.
| Damage frequency (%) | Arbitrary unit (AU) | Genetic damage index (GDI) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control | 37.33 ± 0.88a | 75.00 ± 6.65a | 0.75 ± 0.06a |
| 0.01 µM | 53.33 ± 0.87b | 127.33 ± 3.17b | 1.27 ± 0.03b |
| 0.1 µM | 63.67 ± 0.81c | 140.00 ± 2.64b | 1.40 ± 0.02b |
| p value | *** | *** | *** |
Notes:
DF, Damage frequency; AU, Arbitrary Units; GDI, Genetic Damage Index (mean value ± sd). The differences between groups were considered statistically significant if the p value was <0.05.
p < 0.001
Groups with different letters are significantly different from each other.
