Thiobencarb (0.078-5 mg/L, 72 h) concentrations producing 10%, 20%, and 50% growth inhibition are calculated to be 0.55, 0.79, and 1.26 mg/L, respectively[1].
Thiobencarb (5, 2.5 mg/L, 6 h) is drastically decreased in the Fv/Fm ratio, after exposure of cells for up to 6 h under light and in darkness and three representative inhibitors of the photosynthetic electron transport chain[1].
Thiobencarb (5 mg/L, 24 h) increase expression levels of 13 proteins significantly and those of 11 proteins decreased significantly in Thalassiosira pseudonana. Among these proteins, the level of the Rieske iron-sulfur protein was decreased to less than half of the control level[1].
