AMPICILLIN

A study on the effect of ampicillin on microalgae Chlorella vulgaris and Euglena viridis was carried out. The experiment was carried out for 14 days using concentration at 0mg/l (control), 10mg/l, 20mg/l, 40mg/l, 60mg/l, 80mg/l, 100mg/l of ampicillin, affected the growth of Chlorella vulgaris and Euglena viridis. Samples were analysed throughout the experiment for physiochemical parameters using standard methods. The result showed that the different concentration of ampicillin affect the growth of Chlorella vulgaris and Euglena viridis and was inhibited at 10mg/l, 20mg/l, and 40mg/l treatment. The pH value at the beginning of all the experiment for all the treatment were unstable and around 8.16 and 6.68 but increased gradually at the end of experiment across all treatment. There was significant difference in the growth of the microalgae to the ampicillin concentration
