TL;DR: The aim of this literature review was to summarise the knowledge of the behaviour, and toxicity on marine and freshwater organisms, of phenols as well as to try to select a series of sensitive biomarkers suitable for ecotoxicological assessment and environmental monitoring in aquatic environments.

TL;DR: Toxic physiology assays in P. tricornutum indicated that the p-choroaniline induced significant changes of photosynthetic pigments, Chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, rates of Photosynthetic O2 release and respiration O2 consumption, and antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD, CAT), which implied that these parameters could be taken as sensitive indicators for the environmental assessment.

TL;DR: Isochrysis galbana MACC/H59 may be a suitable marine microalgal species for use in environmental restoration operations after accidental spills of phenol at sea.

TL;DR: The ICE model was verified as a valid approach for generating SSDs with limited toxicity data and showed that there were no significant differences between the two SSD curves and the two hazardous concentrations for the 5% of species.

TL;DR: The degradation assay in P. subcordiformis indicated that the green marine microalga had the ability to remove and degrade PCA, and the order of removal and degradation proportion of PCA was 2 mg L-1 > 5 mg-1>10 mg-1 and the maximum removal and biodegradation percentage was 54% and 34%, respectively.
