New Records of Tetraselmis sp. Strains with Biotechnological Potential Isolated from Greek Coastal Lagoons

In the pursuit of sustainable sources for food, energy, and health products, microalgae have gained attention. present study, lagoonal system Nestos River delta was selected as a sampling point in order to search opportunistic robust species. Two new strains Tetraselmis are described with regards their taxonomic features (as observed using light transmission electron microscopy molecular phylogenetics) biochemical properties (total lipid, total protein, carbohydrate content, photosynthetic pigments, antioxidant capacity). The studied were identified representatives verrucosa f. rubens. Furthermore, both exhibited an interesting profile coupled high growth rates promising activity, without use enhancement induction culture methods, warranting further investigation showing potential biotechnological use.
