  abstract = {{T}his study investigates the effects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ({PAH}s) on two potentially toxic {P}seudonitzschia hasleana and {P}. mannii, isolated from a {PAH} contaminated marine environment. {B}oth species, maintained in non-axenic cultures, have been exposed during 144 h to increasing concentrations of a 15 {PAH}s mixture. {A}nalysis of the domoic acid, showed very low concentrations. {D}ose-response curves for growth and photosynthesis inhibition were determined. {B}oth species have maintained their growth until the end of incubation even at the highest concentration tested (120 {M}u g l-1), {N}evertheless, {P} mannii showed faster growth and seemed to be more tolerant than {P}. hasleana. {T}o reduce {PAH} toxicity, both species have enhanced their biovolume, with a higher increase for {P}. mannii relative to {P} hasleana. {B}oth species were also capable of bioconcentrating {PAH}s and were able to degrade them probably in synergy with their associated bacteria. {T}he highest biodegradation was observed for {P}. mannii, which could harbored more efficient hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria. {T}his study provides the first evidence that {PAH}s can control the growth and physiology of potentially toxic diatoms. {F}uture studies should investigate the bacterial community associated with {P}seudo-nitzschia species, as responses to pollutants or to other environmental stressors could be strongly influence by associated bacteria.},
