How does diesel fuel contamination affect the survival of microalgae?
Hypothesis: Diesel fuel contamination of the sediment will result in lower microalgae biomass indicating a reduction in microalgal survival.
Can you conclude that the microalgae are somehow able to utilize the diesel contaminants, maybe as a nutrient source, and that is why the microalgae biomass numbers increased so significantly in the high contamination microcosms after 28 days of contamination?
Can you conclude that the diesel contamination is toxic to microalgae in the sediment?
Do your results support or reject your hypothesis?
