Ordination plots of elements for cytotoxic Chlorella sp. (strain 15) cultures responding to the addition of new iron. Red lines indicate the relative contribution of sampling time to the positioning of the elements in the ordination. Iron levels were fully restored for Treatment 4 Chlorella cultures (A); i.e., 0.1 mg/L Fe(III)-EDTA and 1.3 mg/L Fe(II)SO4 × 7H2O was added to the cultures. Iron-replete conditions were established for the Treatment 5 Chlorella cultures (B); i.e., 40 mg/L Fe(III)-EDTA and 520 mg/L Fe(II)SO4 × 7H2O was added to the cultures. Relative cytotoxic activity was inferred by in vivo bioassay and is denoted as highly active (+++), low level of activity (+), and no activity detected (ND).
