dunaliella salina was isolated from maharlu salt lake in shiraz, iran, and was analyzed forthe effects of salinity stress on its growth, pigment content and ascorbate peroxidase activity. growth,expressed as number of cells ml-1, which was most rapid at 2 m nacl, was reduced at salinity extremes.during the exponential phase of growth, increasing salinity from 0.5 to 4 m nacl increased chl a fro...

Five marine cosmopolitan phytoplankton species namely; Calcidiscus leptoporus, Emiliania huxleyi, Phaeodactylum tricornutum, Chaetoceros neogracilis and Dunaliella tertiolecta were screened for emissions of selected VOCs using head space gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (HS-GC/MS) in single ion mode. The VOCs investigated included isoprene and various halogenated compounds. Among the differ...

A technique for the separation, detection, and quantification of molecular species of monogalactosyldiglyceride and digalactosyldiglyceride is described. Use of the technique to analyze the molecular species composition of the galactolipids isolated from Dunaliella salina chloroplasts is presented. The results indicate that the respective compositions of the two lipids are quite different. This...

12 strains o f the geni Chlorella, Scenedesmus, Chlamydomonas, and Dunaliella were tested for their tolerance against the anionic detergent “L A S” (linear alkylbenzene sulfonate). Cellular parameters (cell titer and chlorophyll content) were monitored for 28 days after addition o f LAS (0 .0 1 —2 m M ) . A 100-fold difference in sensitivity toward LAS was detected for the algal strains analyze...
