Abstract The influence of several organic solvents (esters, phthalates, alkanes, alcohols and perfluorchemicals) on the oxygen metabolism of Tagetes minuta (marigolds) was tested by incubating the cells in medium mixed with 1, 5 or 10% (v/v) of the organic solvents. The results were in good agreement with the general rules (log P) for the influence of organic solvents on biocatalytic activity. Immobilization of the cells in calcium alginate provided a slight protection of the cells against the toxic solvents.
