Sažetak
The symbiotic relationship was tested in green hydra species (Hydra viridissima Pallas, 1766) using norflurazon and cinoxacin. The goal was to disrupt the balanced symbiotic relationship between hydra and Chlorella species with norflurazon and cinoxacin and to monitor changes by using ultrastructural morphometry. Width, area and perimeter of perialgal space were measured using cTEM micrographs. Symbiosomes were ruptured in both test-solutions. Perialgal space area in norflurazon did not change in the 72 hour period, but was severely changed after the recovery period and perialgal space in cinoxacin was enlarged after the treatment. Hydra individuals perished during the recovery phase, though algae survived possibly due to greater protection from the enlarged perialgal space.
