Results of the study of the influence of the cationic surfactant (catamine) on the growth, reproduction, motion, and energy potential of the test-culture of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Dang.) (Chlorophyta), and also on the same characteristics of representatives of the genera Nostoc, Synechocystis, and Anabaena (Cyanophyta), are presented. The vital activity of the algae was assessed by the microscopic and fluorescent methods, and also by the method of laser-Doppler spectrometry used for evaluating the rate and energy potential of their motion. It has been found that in the presence of surfactants morphological, functional, and metabolic characteristics of the algae belonging to various taxonomic groups changed.
