Abstract：
:Euglena ignobilis cells in natural puddle water of pH 7.8, when kept at 21 +/- 2 degrees C and under continuous light (intensity of approximately 30 micromol m(-2) s(-1)) in a culture chamber, decreased their speed of movement from > or = 78000 microm/min (after a 12-h cultivation), to 850-1300 microm/min after 18 h. Simultaneously initiated were changes in morphology from the usual elongated motile forms to round motile ones by curving and contraction. Water stress (2 and 4 % agarized puddle water, puddle water with 0.2-1 mol/L NaCl), temperature shock (< or = 10 degrees C, > or = 30 degrees C), darkness and low-light intensity, UV exposure (0.96-2.88 kJ/m2), pH extremes (< or = 6.5 and > or = 10), presence of 'heavy' metals (1-100 ppm Fe, Cu, Zn, Co, Ni, Hg) or organic substances in puddle water (25-1000 ppm 2,4-D, captan, urea, DDT, thiourea), all these factors rapidly (after 5 to 30 min) decreased the speed of the elongated motile form to < or = 300 microm/min, and induced all morphological changes leading to formation of round motile and round nonmotile forms. These features in the alga (i.e. sudden speed reduction and morphological changes from elongate motile to round motile form) may thus be suggested to be used in assessing water quality.
