Toxic Effects of Ethyl Cinnamate on the Photosynthesis and Physiological Characteristics of Chlorella vulgaris Based on Chlorophyll Fluorescence and Flow Cytometry Analysis by Yang Jiao, Hui-Ling Ouyang, Yu-Jiao Jiang, Xiang-Zhen Kong, Wei He, Wen-Xiu Liu, Bin Yang, Fu-Liu Xu

“…After 72 h of exposure to 4 mg/L ethyl cinnamate, the Fv/Fm of C. vulgaris dropped to zero. (3) Ethyl cinnamate also affected the cellular physiology of C. vulgaris, but these effects resulted in the inhibition of cell yield rather than cell death. Exposure to ethyl cinnamate resulted in decreased esterase activities in C. vulgaris, increased average cell size, and altered intensities of chlorophyll a fluorescence. …”

Diversity and functions of fungal VOCs with special reference to the multiple bioactivities of the mushroom alcohol by Guohua Yin, Geromy G. Moore, Joan Wennstrom Bennett

“…The use of Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies) as a model for testing the toxicity of fungal VOCs showed that some VOCs delayed metamorphosis and/or caused fly death at certain concentrations. When Drosophila was cultivated in an atmosphere shared with VOC mixtures released from growing cultures of several medically important fungi, including Aspergillus fumigatus, toxicity was observed. …”
