TLDR
The present studies further support the idea that Tri EL is the primary derivative of TEL in illuminated algal cultures and that TriEL is the agent which causes the severe inhibitory effects in TEL toxicity to Poterioochromonas malhamensis.

The fate and behavior of lead alkyls in the environment: A review

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the potential for Pb alkyl contamination in the environment was performed with emphasis on the following areas: (1) abiotic and biotic decomposition of Pb compounds; (2) sorption, mobility, and transport of pb alkalkyl compounds in soil-water systems; (3) toxicity of the compounds; and (4) methods for determining Pb-alkal content of water, soil, and soil.

Responses of marine unicellular algae to brominated organic compounds in six growth media

TL;DR: It is concluded that responses to toxicants in different media are the results of interactions among algae, growth medium, toxicant, and solvent carrier.

Quantitative ultrastructural changes associated with lead-coupled luxury phosphate uptake and polyphosphate utilization

TL;DR: Changes in the relative volume of polyphosphate in all three organisms suggest that Plectonema and Scenedesmus have higher phosphate nutrient requirements than Cyclotella, and the ecological implications of metal sequestering by polyph phosphate are discussed.

Toxic effects of tetraethyl lead and its derivatives on the chrysophyte Poterioochromonas malhamensis. I. Tetraethyl lead

G. Roederer
TL;DR: It is concluded that Poterioochromonas is not able to metabolize TEL to the toxic agent, and very probably this toxic TEL derivative is identical to triethyl lead.

Toxicity and Accumulation of Lead with Respect to Algae and Cyanobacteria: A Review

TL;DR: The present paper is aimed at summarizing literature data concerning occurrence of lead in water environments and its toxicity and bioaccumulation with respect to algae and cyanobacteria.

Biochemical Studies on the Toxicity of Tetraethyl Lead and Other Organo-Lead Compounds

TL;DR: The actions of purified tetra-, tri-, and di-ethyl lead on rats and rat brain slices and brain brei have been examined and brain tissue appears to be unduly sensitive to its toxic action.
