Notes
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans was exposed over a whole life-cycle (72 hr) to several concentrations of 4-nonylphenol (NP; nominal concentrations: 0-350 µg/l). Growth and reproduction of C. elegans were enhanced at NP concentrations 66 and 40 µg/l, respectively, with effects showing dose-response relationships. These stimulatory effects might be of ecological relevance in benthic habitats, where organisms can be exposed to high concentrations of NP.
