Abstract
Effect of Kuwait crude oil and benzene on growth, photosynthesis and glycollate dehydrogenase of Anacystis nidulans were studied. Crude oil completely inhibited growth, photosynthesis and enzyme activity at a concentration of 4 ml/l. However, benzene had its complete inhibitory effect at about 0.4 ml/l
